As the amount of curriculum in today's classrooms expands and teaching time seems to shrink, teachers are looking for ways to integrate content area and writing instruction. In this revised and expanded edition of Writing Across the Curriculum, Shelley Peterson shows teachers how to weave writing and content area instruction together in their classrooms.

New features in this second edition include:

  • Websites that can be used to teach writing (e.g., wiki's, weblogs, and digital storytelling)
  • Examples from grades 4-8 classrooms that show how science, social studies, health, and mathematics teachers can also be teachers of poetry, narrative, and non-narrative writing
  • New assessment scoring guides
  • Information on working with struggling writers and supporting English Language Learners
  • Graphic organizers, templates, and mini-lessons that engage students in learning
