Hale explores ways to teach the craft of writing by moving beyond the rules of grammar and mechanics. Often teachers "teach" writing using the predictable rules of the English language. Hale examines the art of writing, the artistic side of writing and the process for identifying craft in writing. She describes the specific and general craft techniques, such as voice, sentence fluency and writing with detail. Teachers will learn how to assist students in determining their writing strengths and how to build upon those strengths.--Ministry of Education website.
