Author Description

"The activities in this book are designed to nurture the symbiotic connections between art and writing in a number of ways: 1. To use art as a concrete visual resource for students to reference as they write... 2. To use art as a means of inspiring and translating the power of specific visual detail into vivid writing, improving word choice and vocabulary 3. To use art as a creative, fun means of managing the process-writing classroom 4. To use art as a way to motivate and inspire students for whom writing is difficult"--Introd.
