The author passionately believes that everyone can improve as a writer, a conviction earned through twenty years of empowering young writers. This handy guidebook explains in an accessible way the keys to writing well, providing valuable insight into the fundamentals of the writing process and seventy incisive pieces of advice. It can help teachers inspire students' engagement and guide their development. A student reading this concise book will be encouraged by realizing that writing well is not a magical gift some people have and others don't, but a skill she or he can develop. It clarifies that writing is thinking and that vigorous revision as the heart of the writing process empowers students to express themselves clearly and precisely, making writing an engaging activity reflecting their most vibrant intellectual experience, valuable not just for assessing learning but as an essential means to foster deep learning and critical thinking. As a resource for faculty development, it provides many insights and activities to help instructors across the curriculum support student writing. It makes a powerful case for establishing a writing center in schools that do not yet have one. This concise guidebook is useful for secondary and post-secondary students, for educators in training, for advocates of and consultants in writing across the curriculum, for high school teachers and college faculty in professional development, and for all people who are eager to improve their writing skills and take pleasure in an activity essential to modern life that has not yet proved satisfying to them.
