An innovative approach to teaching writing, told by a well-known teacher and blogger.

The methodology is that of the Writing Workshop conceived by the Teachers College of Columbia University and founded on decades of experimentation and research. A new learning environment where students improve their competence in writing through constant practice, with defined tools and routines. The book explains in detail how to conduct the workshop in class, which is divided into several sessions:
 a mini lesson, in which the teacher provides writing strategies and techniques explicitly, using model literary texts;
• plenty of time for independent writing;
sharing, time for students to compare their work with peers and with the teacher.
Full of ideas, tips and practical material, which can also be downloaded, the book targets primary school teachers (years four and five) and lower secondary school teachers.
