'(A) wonderful guide for different ways to approach writing in the classroom. Lesson ideas, rubrics, assessments, and activities all work together to help classroom teachers put together a comprehensive writing programme' - "Anchorage School District Book Review".This volume of differentiated writing strategies allows all teachers to teach writing at the same time that they teach content.
