This course has changed many of the ways I teach writing. I'm now working on skills, because I realize students (even in high school) have some pretty big deficits in basic skills. Spending more time on prewriting (and those strategies) made drafting so easy for my students, and they are not as intimidated by essays.

I enjoyed this book study course! I was able to gain ideas and strategies that will support all learners. The strategies shared in this book are designed to be used in a variety of content areas, and can be easily implemented to a writing program you currently use. I appreciate the purposeful assignments I completed in this course, and plan to use them in the near future.

This course is a must for all teachers of writing! It really delves into differences between genres, style, revision, and editing to create competent writers that love writing.
