Give your students the confidence to continuously
improve their writing. In Empowering Students to Write and Re-write: Standards-Based Strategies for Middle and High School Teachers, author and educator Warren Combs provides teachers with detailed strategies and
lesson plans, along with real student writing samples.
Review true-to-life scripts for conversations between teachers and students, and use or create student-friendly response and final evaluation forms. Also, learn a simple system
for setting student expectations to help them reach curriculum standards.

learning guide.
Teachers will help their students:
Self-assess their progress with accuracy
Revise partial and whole drafts
Kindle their innate writing abilities
Cultivate a mindset for revision
