Produktbeschreibung

process approach to teaching writing in the
classroom. The investigation centers on the

fifth grade students as measured by an annual

instruction in schools, a comparison of traditional
and process writing instruction, and a description of
the major components and essential elements of
Writer''s Workshop. Interviews and a lengthy
discussion of the findings suggest many positive
implications from the study as well as continued used
of the Writer''s Workshop curriculum with
modifications.
