5.0 out of 5 stars A fresh perspective, December 11, 2000
By francis guerrero (Brownsville, Texas) - See all my reviews
A Fresh Look at Writing is an informative and thoroughly useful guide at how teachers can implement worthy strategies in the classroom in order to help children strenghthen their writing skills. Graves explains how strategies such as the author's chair and portfolios can help children practice and take pride in their writing. This book focuses on kinder through sixth grade, but its methods can be modified to fit any grade level.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Change for Resistent Writing Teachers, August 6, 2000
By A Customer
This book truly gives one a "fresh look" at what they believe writing is about. Don begins the book by having the reader reflect on his own life to recognize why he teaches the way he does. It is easy to understand after the first two actions in his book why teaching writing seems so difficult. I found it most beneficial to read over a period of time so I could implement the actions he writes about. This book totally changed my attitude as a writing teacher. Now, instead of feeling frustrated about writing, Don has helped me find the writer within myself which is helping me become a great writing teacher.
