Students tend to write in response to literature; whereas, the focus of this resource is to help students write material, fiction and non-fiction, that they want to read. Students often engage in writing that is more about pleasing the teacher or ticking a homework or assignment box. This book challenges many assumptions with reference to traditional models for teaching writing. A rich assortment of engaging examples are presented in this book to prompt educators to adapt and construct their own meaningful writing units of study\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Hope Blecher and Barbara Smith have over 80 years of experiences as teachers, teacher leaders, academic leaders and authors ... and it shows.
