Synopsis
This book is a comprehensive framework of instructional protocols intended to expand and deepen students' written fluency. It is a year-long curriculum that builds students' self-confidence, self-awareness, and knowledge of the world. It increases the students' abilities to write easily and articulately on personal and abstract topics. This journal-writing program can easily be integrated into a broader writing framework. The book includes a detailed discography of recommended and easily accessed CDs.

The prompts are organized thematically and feature issues that range from imaginative to serious, reflecting the preoccupations of young people today. Support for teachers in implementing the program is abundant and includes grading and assessment guidance. Word-for-word teacher instructions as well as explanations of rationale for each component of the program make this book both easy to follow and entertaining to read.
