* A debate has arisen on how and whether digital writing should be taught and what skills should be expected of students. As many teachers know, students may be very adept at text messaging, and communicating online, but do not know how to craft a basic essay.

This updated edition of the best-selling book Because Writing Matters reflects the most recent research and reports on the need for teaching writing, and it includes new sections on writing and English language learners, technology, and the writing process.

Developed in cooperation with the Center for Social Action, UK, this book offers teachers an instructional model for generating real-world problem solving and writing practice. The book features stories by teachers who have successfully used these strategies and includes various ways of using the model across grade levels and content areas.
