"At a time when students' attention is being pulled in many directions, writing expert Penny Kittle shows us the power of helping them to focus in and write clearly and powerfully. She does this through the study of "micro mentor texts", passages from acclaimed books, and the decisions authors make to craft those texts so they engage readers. Her book includes dozens of passages and accompanying mini-lessons -- as well as many practice opportunities for students." -- Back cover.
