This book and e-binder are excellent sources of minilessons for writing workshop in the middle grades. Nancie Atwell provides her rationale for each lesson, a scope and sequence of lessons for the year, a succinct description of the basics of writing workshop and the 76 minilessons as well as a cd with all the reproducible handouts that accompany the lessons. Lessons That Change Writers is the companion book to Atwell's In the Middle: New Understandings About Writing, Reading, and Learning. I highly recommend both books for anyone teaching reading and writing in grades 5-8.

Don't let the cost of this product scare you away. It's worth every cent. Nancie Atwell is one of the leading voices in teaching writing as a process using solid mentor texts and student awareness of writing technique. This is a fantastic resource for writing teachers.

An unbelievable source of mini lessons that lead to real and fantastic changes in your students writing. Terrific. Well worth every penny.
