Special features:

Writing prompts that are based on Webb’s Depth of Knowledge (DOK) and provide practice for students at all skill levels

Practical strategies to build critical thinking and improve students’ writing, including sentence stems, acrostics, framed stories, analogies, and quad clusters

Student self-assessment guidelines and rigorous peer-response strategies

An interactive log to help you manage best practices and keep students engaged
