5.0 out of 5 stars
A must have for the classroom, May 29, 2007
This review is from: Be a Better Writer: Power Tools for Young Writers!: Essential Tips, Exercises and Techniques for Aspiring Writers (Paperback)
This book, along with its companion are a teacher's God send! The book is written to the reader as a writer - one writer to another. My students loved the way the book presented writing in such a matter of fact manner and not a formularic lock step blah, blah, blah color code blah, blah, blah. It's written by real writers to real students of writing. The strategies are incredible for creating thinkers of writing! My students are have open and honest dialogues about their writing without focusing so much on mechanics unless the mechanics of way something is written effects the way it is understood.
If you can't get this for your students, get it for yourself!
