This is a book I'm interested in and wonder if we should consider ordering?
A great book for Teachers K-8 (using Non-fiction Text) for writing.
This books has some great ideas and I love the mini-lesson format that they use. I definitely can use this to create many lessons. However, since I am focused on informational writing and research, not everything was applicable for me.
