Meant for elementary students, this title shows how to complete a writing assignment in 5 steps. Meant for elementary students, this title shows how to complete a writing assignment in 5 steps. These include pre writing, drafting, revision, peer review, and publishing. Its very clear format compares a writing assignment to a building--make a blueprint, create a foundation, and build ideas.
There are great color photos and spreads that illustrate children thinking and adults building. Word web, sequence charts, use of thesaurus, and peer review are all aspects of writing that are mentioned in this fine title. Sources and glossary are found at the end.
Excellent for elementary collections. S.Gooden
