Title: Writing on Demand: Best Practices and Strategies for Success
Review: The importance of timed writing tests such as the SAT, the AP exam, and state tests seriously challenge writing teachers' best practices, which have emphasized the writing process. As a high school teacher, I found this book extremely helpful in readying my students (and myself!) for this challenge. Although many of the teaching practices suggested in this book are not new, they are reconsidered in ways which will prepare students for timed exams by using an abbreviated process approach. The focus on rhetoric provides students with a systematic tool for analyzing their own writing and other writers' texts. The minilessons are particularly helpful, and I plan to incorporate them into both my AP class and my ninth grade class.
