About this ebook

This timely book offers a host of minilessons that focus on comprehensive written communication as one of the essential skills for success. These fresh minilessons explore how to help students go beyond fuzzy thinking and generic voice, and organize their thoughts, solve problems, identify key ideas, and reflect on different perspectives. The book argues that writing is important to help students communicate ideas to others, as well as document their own thoughts. This buffet of minilessons gives teachers ideas to add to their teaching repertoire so they can help their students' work shine a little brighter.
