An Essential Book for Writing Teachers

This book makes it possible for teachers of writing to sit beside Judy Davis and Sharon Hill as they teach in their classrooms in the Manhattan New School. As the title suggests, this book is full of practical strategies for teaching students to write well. But the book is much more ambitious than that. It gives us a window into how these two incredible writing teachers think about children and curriculum in a writing workshop. For all of that, readers of this book will be thankful each time they return to the pages of the book to learn more and more.
