This is a great book for getting beginning writer's craft lesson ideas. A great help to writing teachers who are always looking for lesson ideas.
  A Teachers Pet 
I am a teacher in LAUSD and use this instead of some of the literacy programs we use. A very easy to use system.
  Writing made earier! 
This book is fabulous!! We just started "The Writer's Workshop" at our school. The 'Writing Whizardry' has helped me start and stay on track. It has an example lesson and extra resourse on the bottom of each page. If you're having difficulty finding fun ways to teach various writing activities, this is the book for you.
