Reviews
"This book challenges writing teachers to look up from the curriculum maps, state standards, and end-of-course assessments that frequently dominate contemporary decisions about writing instruction. The authors consider writing's role in schooling, to be certain, but their gaze is fixed on the real-world power and implications of writing. To that end, their efforts are dedicated to making impactful, authentic writing strategies accessible to secondary educators." --Teachers College Record, "Expertly written, organized and presented, Writing to Make an Impact: Expanding the Vision of Writing in the Secondary Classroom will prove to be an invaluable and effective curriculum textbook for creative writing classes at the college or university level, as well as creative writing seminars and workshops." --Midwest Book Review
