The Journey Is Everything: Teaching Essays That Students Want to Write for People Who Want to Read Them

Do you teach writing in a middle school or a high school? You ABSOLUTELY need this book to re-engage your students' passion for writing. Essay writing should NOT be boring. Essay writing should NOT be formulaic. The marvelous essays in this book by respected literacy educators will help you (and your students) move beyond five paragraph essays to passionate writing about topics of your own choice!

Moving away from the 'structured' 5 paragraph essay was not easy, but Katherine gives you the tools you need to help students write well. Great book.

My husband absolutely loves his cap rack. He installed it within minutes and now proudly hangs all his caps for everyone to see. I love it because it saves room!! Thank you for a great purchase!!

I think this book is useful but isn't overwhelmingly innovative. It offers a practical approach. Seems like something my district may use for professional development book studies. As a high school educator, I found myself preferring  Writing Analytically  over this book in terms of both reading and writing improvement strategies

One of the best professional books I've read in many, many years!!
