  • Contents

Getting our students to write and write well is a process Tom Scheft explains and explores, offering practical and theoretical guidance, while providing uplifting, thought provoking examples of a writing assignment for students middle grades through master’s level.

An invaluable supplemental text for teacher education programs and in-service programs, Scheft mines his experience working with student writers in public schools and universities.

He also covers:

  • the research-backed case for autobiographical, reflective writing
  • helping student writers understand and deal with rejection
  • honest, practical strategies for dealing with dialect differences.

Professors, English teachers, and students: This book will help enhance writing through time-tested, user-friendly strategies and powerful examples.
