Why You Need a Writing Revolution in Your Classroom and How to Lead It In recent years, with the advent of the Common Core, teachers at almost all grade levels have been expected to have students write not just narratives but also informative and argumentative essays. To date, th...ere's been little reliable research-backed guidance on how to teach students those skills. The writing standards in the Common Core or similar state standards tell teachers where their students should end up, but what teachers really need is a road map that tells them how to get there. The Writing Revolution (TWR) offers just such a road map. It provides a clear, coherent, evidence-based method of instruction that you can use no matter what subject or grade level you teach.

Using these easy to follow and proven steps, YOU CAN MAKE THE
