Teaching Adolescent Writers



This thoughtful book shows how students can be taught to write effectively with a number of classroom-tested strategies that enable teachers to:

  • understand the importance of teaching and modeling writing
  • understand how providing choice motivates and elevates adolescent writing
  • help students recognize the importance of purpose and audience
  • assess in ways the drive better writing performance

Infused with humour and illuminating anecdotes, the book offers both practical ways to incorporate writing instruction into everyday teaching, and compelling reasons to do so.
