Written in conjunction with the "Student Expressions" anthology but useful as a resource on its own, this handbook discusses the writing process and the way one teacher used it in a junior high school classroom. The narrative presented in the handbook is a distillation of the different approaches the teacher tried with different groups. The handbook discusses the advantages of using techniques, strategies and concepts that make up an integral part of the Northland Junior High Language Arts Curriculum: language and learning connected to the child's own world. Sections of the handbook are Starting Out; The Classroom; Writing; Developing the Writing Process; Getting Students Started; The Five Stages of the Writing Process; Evaluation; and The Teacher as Writer.
