Anderson presents specific, skill-based lessons through a running theme of baking and cooking. Each lesson, or "recipe," will help teachers serve up effective instruction on writing, covering a range of topics including idea generation, figurative language, plotting, and structure. The book is designed not just to develop student writing, but to develop students as writers. It offers ideas on how to teach writing through experiences and guidance for planning a year-long curriculum."-- ER -
