Teaching Writing offers balanced writing instruction that focuses on both process and product. It provides a comprehensive vision of the strategies that writers use, the writing genres and the writer's craft, along with techniques for improving the quality of students' writing. Authentic classroom artifacts, mini lessons and day-to-day teaching strategies are integrated throughout the text to guide you in your learning and offer applied examples.
