Help your students see writing as more than just a chore, and tap into a love for the written word. Author/educators Anne Elliott, Mary Lynch, and Karen Filewych will explore ways to inspire students to write what they know, what they think about, and how they feel.
With strategies and skills from their new book, Cultivating Writers, Anne Elliott and Mary Lynch discuss the ins and outs of developing classrooms full of thoughtful, passionate writers. With their six-step plan that focuses on the will to write, every student will be eager to put pen to paper!
