TEACHING WRITING: Balancing Process and Product by Gail E. Tompkins (4th Edition) It's $50.00 at Barnes and Nobel, but only $29.00 on line.
Students can even purchase used copies on line for as little as $8.00. They just need to make sure it's the 4th Edition.

THE ART OF TEACHING WRITING by Calkins, but we are only going to be reading certain chapters out of that book. If they could borrow, beg or steal copies from their schools or other teachers, it would save them some money.
