This book provides practical suggestions enabling media specialists
to participate in and support their schools' writing programs. The
authors encourage staff to create writing process displays and
provide excellent examples. Chapter three discusses the value of
collaboration and provides a collaboration template for media
specialists and teachers. The next five chapters cover each area of
the writing process. At the end of each chapter the authors present
four collaborative lesson plans. Each lesson identifies academic,
information literacy, and NETS standards. The final chapter offers
ways to respond to what children write. The wealth of writing
information is this book benefits teachers as much as media
specialists. Many writing manuals are heavy reads filled with
'eduspeak,' but this readable guide provides a variety of practical
applications. Media specialists should read this book to enhance
their participation in school writing. Those not actively
collaborating with teachers should get some inspiration here so
they can work with teachers to remind students that communication
is the goal of writing by sharing the rich, authentic literature in
the library. A helpful addition might have been an accompanying
CD-ROM with reproducible writing display 'posters' and
collaboration guide, and additional lessons. Recommended.
