From the start, the I Can! chapter sets up writers to know what they can do, by learning to note and record their own strengths. Every chapter models strategies that foster students' self-regulated, independent writing, and includes adaptations that show how to adjust teaching for advanced writers, writers who struggle, English language learners, and extending the strategies across content areas. Each mini-lesson is laid out step by step for ease of use, including sections on: materials needed; modeling the lesson; student practice; and independent writing.
