Writers In Action

Resource Information Index

A friendly, accessible resource that students can turn to again and again to help them with writing assignments. "How To" strategies provide step-by-step instructions on implementing a strategy or technique and are supported by a series of fiction and non-fiction writing samples.

  • Each section offers a detailed table of contents supported by a quick index to facilitate immediate retrieval of information
  • The full-colour design is appealing and students can readily access the information required
  • A variety of graphic organizers found in the Appendix help students present and organize information more effectively (Concept web, Venn diagram, cause and effect chart, timeline, etc.)
  • Writer's Tip boxes embedded throughout serve as reinforcement, discussing elements of the writing process
  • Strategy boxes include a collection of step-by-step instructions providing practical suggestions for students to implement
