Sommario/riassunto

This book provides tools to shift from a teacher-directed writing program to a student-propelled workshop model. It offers strategies to engage and support writers as they discover their voices and take charge of their own learning. It covers how to establish the spaces, routines, and tone to run a highly productive writing time.
