How Do I Get Them to Write?: Explore the Reading-Writing Connection Using Freewriting and Mentor Texts to Motivate and Empower Students

Committed to the premise that all students can learn to write with appropriate teaching, modelling, and practice, How Do I Get Them To Write? argues that reading and writing go hand in hand. Through reading, writing and the inevitable discussions that follow, students learn from the experiences of others, open their minds to many possibilities, gain a glimpse into worlds unknown to them, make connections to their own lives, and reflect on their own choices and learning.

An ideal resource for teachers who love writing as well as those who find it challenging.
