"The first level of this two-level writing text draws on students' world knowledge, beliefs, and perceptions to teach organization and other aspects of the writing process. Every unit in the Student's Book contains brainstorming activities, analysis of models, activities focusing on organization, and pre-writing, writing, and post-writing activities. This book is designed to be suitable for large as well as small classes. It has 12 units with self-contained one- or two-page lessons, as well as self-contained activities that do not require completion of all previous ones - an advantage in a class where students attend irregularly. There are activities to elicit both oral and written feedback from peers, and optional real-world expansion activities, giving learners the opportunity to communicate with English speakers outside of class."--PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION.

This book is a practical, highly readable guide to teaching writing across a broad range of ages and grade levels (K-8). Each stage of the writing process is covered in detail, from setting a purpose for writing to drafting, revising, editing, and producing a "finished" product. The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of writing development and best practices in teaching, richly illustrated with examples of student work. Teachers learn strategies and techniques to help students work independently and in groups to develop meaningful projects; master needed skills through engaging mini-lessons; produce various forms of fiction and nonfiction writing; and use literature as a source of inspiration and modeling.

An invaluable Appendix provides booklists for mini-lessons on a variety of thematic, stylistic, and grammatical topics.
