 Rating: - A Transformative BookThis book transformed the way we teach reasearch at our school. Our students can't wait to dig deeply into subjects and share what they've learned with others.

Teachers will find new incentives to motivate their students along with ...

We were told *what* to do -- make an outline, write the paper, and revise it -- but that didn't help me figure out *how* to do any of these things. Now my daughter is in third grade and I'm trying to help her learn how to write. Our first use of the book helped us capture and explore what she learned on a museum trip. I was really impressed with the resulting report. It was focused, full ... Read More
