Becoming a better writer begins with reading well-written books and trying what their authors do successfully.

So why not help middle schoolers improve their writing by exposing them to mentor texts written just for them? Culham, Blasingame, and Coutu have selected 150 fiction and nonfiction books by master writers, annotated them, and organized them by trait.

Each annotation explains what the book is about and why it&;s a good model.

Twenty ready-to-use, literature-based lessons are also included.

Purchased as a gift for a teacher who requested this particular book to aide her in her classroom with the level at which she teaches.

This is a great resource for teaching writing in middle school. I'm new to the position and trying to find my groove.
