This book is set-up as the primary source to teach writing using the 6-writing traits. Each trait has a dedicated week and day (i.e. "voice" is taught in Week 2 with a different assignment for each day of the week and labeled as such Week 2 Day 1, 2, etc.) Most of the assignments are relevant and my students understand them, as they are written clearly and concisely.I teach 7th grade in a "at-risk" Title I school, with a high refugee population, in a city that doesn't value education. My students are primarily second language learners that come to me with little to no background knowledge about the English language and zero writing skills. I constantly have to think of new ways to keep them invested and interested in school. In my class, I cannot use this book as it was intended, because it is a little dry and students lose interest immediately. However, this bookis a great supplement to my lesson plans. I can use the individual assignments to reteach and reiterate important points if I feel that the students did not understand. This book is a great reference, it has given me some great ideas that build upon my current lesson plans for teaching writing and also shown me what I might additionally need to add to a lesson to get more "light-bulb" moments.I recommend this book as a supplemental resource, but it is not the answer to writing effective lesson plans for teaching writing. It is a good start, or can help you add to existing plans - but I do not think that if you used this book as the primary reading source, that your students would get all the information they need about writing.

This book is great for teaching specific aspects of the writing process. The topics it covers are great and it is really broken down for students. The only thing I do not like is that it mixes writing conventions and other writing together on all the pages. I felt like it was too many things to focus on, so I rarely went over the conventions parts. I would recommend this book.

These are a great warm up for my sixth grade students. What I do is print 30 front and back copies (they write the answers on their own paper) on Friday afternoon and on Monday, while greeting them at the door, I hand them their warm up and they know exactly what to expect and what to do. I've seen many questions that reflect the Common Core as well as essential knowledge information for their future. After 10 minutes or so, we'll go over the answers together and discuss the questions. I usually allot 10 minutes for this depending on the content of the questions. This is really a great book and has made my life a thousand times easier.

This is an excellent workbook for use with an ESL learner. It is organized into clear and manageable daily work sheets. High recommended.

It has everything need to assist students in their writing step by step. I like the way it is layed out with the days of the week.

I will be using this during the summer to help our youngest. Very thorough, not overwhelming and just takes a little bit of work each day.

I have used this for awhile and it has been super helpful. Shipped quickly
