Teaching the most daunting tasks of writing-revision and editing-just became easier and more manageable with the publication of this book. Ruth Culham targets essential skills with "warm-ups" : short, powerful activities that provide students with real writing practice in revising for ideas, organization, voice, word choice, and sentence fluency, and in editing for conventions. From there, students apply what they learn to their own work, confidently and independently. There's no better way to get the wheels turning at writing time.
