When I walked into our PLC meeting today, I commented to Ms. McGinty that I would like some more ideas on how to help ESL students become better writers.  She must have mental telepathy as she had already run off copies of "The Writing Teacher's Strategy Guide."  It is a simplified guide to teaching writing with many examples and prompts.  I think it will be very useful for me and for my students.  I particularly like the parts on "I don't know what to write about," "Great Beginnings," and "Happy Endings."
