Where do English teachers start when introducing different genres of writing? "Learning begins with activity and learning benefits from reinforcement and repetition." Peter Smagorinsky, Larry Johannessen, Elizabeth Kahn, and Thomas McCann An indispensable companion for scaffolding the writing process, The Dynamics of Writing Instruction is a guide to working with any student who could benefit from a structured approach. The book is packed full of how-tos, offering everything a teacher needs to get started: gateway activities, strategies, handouts, and a blueprint of possibilities to consider while interpreting and implementing the curriculum.

Now, with The Dynamics of Writing Instruction , teachers can help students fulfill their writing potential by helping them learn by doing and by building their writing ability, one step at a time.
