"Teach Writing Well: How to Assess Writing, Invigorate Instruction, and Rethink Revision" by successful writer and writing teacher Ruth Culham shows how to teach writing and revision in a way that's accessible to both teachers and students: First read the writing, assess it using the traits of writing, then teach the writers and guide revision decisions using traits as a common language and map.
Culham, a teacher and author who conducts professional development to improve writing instruction for schools and districts, explains how to assess and teach writing in any classroom or grade using the traits of writing (ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, conventions, and presentation) to build understanding of students' strengths and challenges as writers and how they can add depth and power in writing, through revision that begins with formative assessment.
