Reviews


What an easy read!
I read this book for one of my English classes in college, and I was surprised at how easy to read it was! Unlike most of my college textbooks, it did not include a lot of technical jargon or confusing terms. The book is really useful for teachers of all disciplines. It has practical applications of writing in the classroom, including both expository and creative. I strongly encourage anyone entering the teaching profession or already in it to read this book and use its ideas in the classrooms.
