Have you ever wished for a practical guide to teach writing?
What if that guide took the mystery out of learning to write well?
Authors Judith C.Hochman and Natalie Wexler write, "The Writing Revolution (TWR) is as much a method of teaching content as it is a method
of teaching writing. There's no separate writing block and no separate writing curriculum. Instead, teachers of all subjects adapt TWR's strategies
and activities to their preexisting curriculum and weave them into their content instruction." Build your writing toolbox as The Writing Revolution identifies six different principles that take the reader from sentence writing to grammar, and finally to the writing process, planning, and revising.
The book is helpful for teachers of all grades and content areas.
The self-paced online course will offer 10 CTLE hours upon completion. There
are 5 one-hour instructor-led online meetings. Up to 5 additional CTLE hours will be offered for participation in the online meetings.
