Editorial Reviews
Review
"The market has sorely needed a writing text that addresses the needs of both the junior high and senior high student. Many claim to do so, but this is the first one I have seen that actually and specifically does what it claims." — Anna Boiling, California State University-Stanislaus
"Having a text that clearly ties evaluation to writing tasks, that demonstrates how to use rubrics to think about what students need to know, and outlines how to develop a variety of rubrics are clear assets of this book." — Patricia P. Kelly, Virginia Tech University
"Teaching Writing in Middle and Secondary Schools is full of practical ideas, simply and clearly presented, that a busy teacher can immediately use in a classroom. I'm also impressed with the number and variety of forms which busy teachers can use, including: a portfolio cover assignment, a Six-Trait track record for evaluating traits of writing, a thorough and clear rubric that describes each level for each trait, peer evaluation forms, a rubric for team writing portfolios, a reading survey, and other assessment rubrics." — Harold Nelson, Minot State University

This review is from: Teaching Writing in Middle and Secondary Schools (Paperback)
Very dry material, difficult to get through! I had to read it for a class, and it was torturous, to the point of falling asleep.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Amazing Author, Amazing Pedagogy,
This review is from: Teaching Writing in Middle and Secondary Schools (Paperback)
Dr. Blasingame is incredibly gifted at teaching writing. In this book, he provides stellar instruction. In the classroom, he provides a writing community that's safe and inspired. I have rarely met a professor who is so kind and passionate. He's a wonderful man - it's a wonderful book.

Good book, helpful to beginning teacher,
This review is from: Teaching Writing in Middle and Secondary Schools (Paperback)
Blasingame and Bushman provide a rough sketch of theoretical support for their concepts as they relate to teaching Language Arts. The biggest strength of this book is that it provides helpful, practical ideas and beginnings that a teacher could utilize immediately in the classroom.
