Grammar and Vocabulary Instruction
"Beyond ideas of absolute right and absolute wrong lives a classroom where writers thrive. They live in the questions and the wonders of language. Here, instead of avoiding errors, young writers make choices based on thinking and purpose. To these writers, the conventions of language are the patterns of power they use to shape meaning".
