The Writing Workshop: A World of Difference

I am currently enrolled in a class with Dr. Dawn Rodrigues at the University of Texas at Brownsville in which we were asked to do a book review. I reviewed The Writing Workshop: A World of Difference written by Lucy McCormich Colkins and Shelly Harwayne. This book is an excellent guide to help teachers become experts in teaching writing. It provides step-by-step strategies and guidance on helping students choose topics. The book is a compilation of suggestions and notes which may be used by teachers. I strongly recommend the book to all language arts teachers.
