Review
Intended for those who instruct students in writing, this book advocates
the use of criteria checklists and various techniques that give students
control over their work and allow them to examine and model quality
texts. As their understanding of substantive writing develops, students
can identify and apply critical standards to their own papers.
Included in this useful manual are activities, assessment forms, and
feedback questions, as well as lists of specific criteria related to
content and organization, semantic and syntactic features, and
conventions.
