Based on the understanding that writing should not be confined to the language arts classroom, this book provides over 200 examples of how 12 different strategies can be used in kindergarten through high school classrooms. The writing strategies in the book demonstrate how writing can also be employed as a powerful tool for processing new subject-area content and integrating new learning with prior knowledge. Additionally, by using writing to process content, students learn to read better, strengthen organizational skills, achieve an enriched vocabulary, and enhance thinking skills.
