Book excerpt: Middle and high school writing is not pointless! From one of the most respected writing professors inAmerica, this book combines the insight — affective-- for writing with writing as a learning tool in all content areas.

Written by a masterful teacher for teachers, the friendly, thought-provoking style is appropriate for teachers in diverse disciplines.
