Do you spend entirely too much time correcting your students’ papers? Do your students’ essays and term papers take side trips to nowhere? Is their writing riddled with mechanical errors? Do their lab reports and essays lack specificity and clarity?

Writing in the Content Areas, Second Edition is for middle and high school content area teachers who assign essays, term papers, lab reports and other writing tasks to students. This book provides strategies and tips to help teachers of social studies, science, art, etc. to improve the quality of students’ writing.
