Synopsis

Power up writing instruction with short, differentiated lessons!

The hard reality? By the time they reach middle school, many of our students still lack basic writing skills, and this is their last opportunity to get up to speed before they reach high school. This toolbox of 23 mini-lessons will help you intervene and develop confident, competent writers. You′ll find:

• Proven lessons that develop four essential writing strategies: inventing, drafting, revising, and editing
• Adaptations for struggling writers, English Language Learners, and advanced writers, with visual tools
• A schematic linking lessons to Common Core grade-level goals
