Table of Contents | About the Author(s)

This practical book offers a simple approach to developing an assessment-based writing process with students—by beginning with the end. The Write Beginning argues that when young writers use success as a guide, they are able to develop a clear understanding of their targets and set realistic goals for themselves. It shows teachers how to introduce students to new forms of writing by using successful writing samples and includes teacher prompts, graphic organizers, sample rubrics, checklists, and student samples for easy classroom implementation.
