The Write Thing

Imagine having a Newbery Medal-winning author in your classroom as a coach, an advisor and a friend, giving you personal and practical advice on how to teach writing workshop in today’s classroom. With The write thing, you can do just that!

Drawing on more than ten years of experience conducting writing workshops in schools, New York Times-bestselling author Kwame Alexander shows you how to shake up the ‘traditional’ writing workshop using poetry and make writing fun again! Part how-to and part inspiration, this book teaches you how to move students from ideas, to drafts, to finished products, to published works. Even the most reluctant writers will be motivated to write and encouraged to share their voices with others!
