                          As a professional writing teacher, I am very impressed with the ideas that these authors have brought to my attention. It can be argued that students need more conventional instruction than craft lessons, but I believe that a mixture, or balance, in the instruction is necessary. I am evolving as a teacher as I reflect on my directions that I give to students. My intent is to facilitate students in an environment designed to bring students to their personal bests in all areas. I will use this book for guidance.Each lesson has suggested scripts for teachers who are engaged in being succinct, but motivating. Writer's Workshop, here we are!
