Read the *7th ed.* (which I don't see listed on Goodreads) for a graduate course. It's an excellent reference book, even for middle school teachers. My copy is already tagged & written all over. Highly recommend!

This will be a great reference to have in my toolbox. It was easy to plow through. It has good mentor texts for every genre.

Written for k-8, but as a high school Spanish teacher I am finding plenty of reasonable suggestions that could improve how I teach writing from level 1. I need to take more notes or these ideas are going to evaporate before next school year...

This text outlines the six traits of writing. The text focuses on differentiating instruction for students. There is also insight in the text on how to implement technology and when you have English Language Learners in your classroom.

Great resource for the Elementary Teacher. Each chapter notes a list of wonderful "mentor text" to use in your writing lessons. I definitely will keep this handy for writing lessons!
