Keys to inspiration: a teacher's guide to a student-centered writing program

Student-centered instruction is the buzzword among today's educators, yet the teaching of writing is still very top-down.

Student-centered should mean student-inspired, and that's where 'Keys to Inspiration' comes in.

The path to a writer's truth always starts with an emotion, and almost all forms of writing contain at least a trace of emotional DNA.

This book shows teachers how to align emotion with subject matter, and it offers them lessons and projects (from challenging writing exercises to larger projects, such as memoir, research reports, and editorials) that resonate with young authors.
