Good examples for specific content area teachers. At times too wordy.

I really enjoyed the chapters devoted to the other disciplines. As a literacy coach, I am always looking for more ways to incorporate authentic writing into all disciplines and help kids to see the transference. At times, I felt parts of the book were too wordy and I just wanted to move on to the next chapter. All in all it is a good resource to have on my shelf.

I liked what they had to say. The examples of effective writing instruction were inspiring and easy to implement.

Some chapters on writing in various disciplines, but making some good points about why some things work and others don't.
