This unique resource gives teachers everything they need to set up and
manage a successful writing workshop in a high school classroom. By
creating a classroom centered on writing, the workshop approach helps
students develop skills and strategies for mastering numerous writing
tasks and genres. After introducing the workshop's fundamental
principles and methods, the book explains how to guide students through
the entire writing process, from planning and drafting to revising,
giving and receiving feedback, editing, and publishing their work.
Guidelines for valid, reliable assessment and evaluation of student work
are included. Enhancing the book's utility are numerous tables, figures,
and "How's it done?" boxes that offer classroom-tested tools and tips.
