This review is from: Dynamite Writing Ideas: Empowering Students to Become Authors (Paperback)
Melissa gives you a golden crutch to use if you are anticipating starting a writing workshop in your classroom and are not sure where to begin, how to continue, or do not have the time to recreate the wheel. She gives you guidelines for daily and weekly activities to use to make this a successful and fun writing time for your students. A must for your writing library of resource books that have practical and workable activities to encourage the success of your students in this, their most important area of lifetime learning skills...written communication.
