Readers will relish the somewhat irreverent tone that fans of earlier editions have come to expect. In this highly practical guide filled with a wealth of activities for the classroom, Dawn and Darren continue the long-standing tradition of earlier editions of Inside Out with guidance for building a community of writers, providing innovative and effective strategies for meeting kids where they are and coaching them to write with passion and purpose across all genres. Writing, like all other acts of creation, develops from the inside out.” “We begin, instead, by teaching students to attend to their inner language, to their individual sensations, perceptions, emotions, incipient understandings, observations, and perspectives.
“To teach writing well, we don’t look someplace ‘out there’ for rules, formulas, and mimicry,” write Dawn Latta Kirby and Darren Crovitz.
“If you’re ultimately helping students become creative individuals with a voice fluent, context-aware experts with language and engaged and thinking adults, we think you’re doing your job as a writing teacher (above and beyond what the standards-of-the-week have to say on the matter).”
