PREPARING FOR CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE TEACHING

The best warm-up writing activities ever!!!

I came across this book during my research for a writing project. I checked the first 39 exercises from the books.google.com and got fascinated by a vast variety of interesting ideas and I immediately ordered the book.

I got the book today and I realized that buying this book has been one of the wisest decisions I have made for a while. I have to confess that I haven't seen such a creative, fun and thorough book for a super long time. The activities can be adapted to all levels as a warm-up. It seems that it is already my writing warm-up bible.
