Description

Houston, "How Writing Works, 1e"

Written by award winning, critically acclaimed author, Gloria Houston, this long-awaited text uses a totally new concept in teaching writing by focusing on "learning to write in the real world, " not the world of literary writing, using content materials from the entire curriculum. Groundbreaking in the teaching of writing, this text provides instruction in the use of "visual organizers" to understand how each piece of writing works, supporting its effectiveness with research data and theory from a wide array of fields.

(Houston's) approach is fresh, innovative, and based on Houston's own substantial work as a writer, a writing teacher, and a teacher educator.
Professor Nancy Padak, "Kent State University"

As a teacher, I am very excited that this material will...be placed in the hands of a large number of future teachers.
Professor Marsha M. Lewis, "State Coordinator, North Carolina Reading Association"

As I read through (How Writing Works), I found myself wishing I had a classroom of children again.
Professor Clare E. Hite, "University of South Florida"

From the beginning...I thought the book was EXCELLENT. I LOVED it! The profession needs this book...
Professor Laurie Stowell, "Cal State San Marcos"
