papers? Do your students' essays and term papers take side trips to
nowhere? Is their writing riddled with mechanical errors? Do their
lab reports and essays lack specificity and clarity?

high school content area teachers who assign essays, term papers,
lab reports, and other writing tasks to students. This book
