You-Can-Teach-Writing is about
equipping
teachers
for teaching nonfiction writing
You-Can-Teach-Writing.com is designed for folks
who don't feel up to the task of teaching nonfiction writing but
have to do it anyway.
If you are one of those folks, You-Can-Teach-Writing will provide
you with resources and strategies for teaching nonfiction writing
to students from seventh grade on into college and career.
At You-Can-Teach-Writing, our job is
equipping teachers for teaching writing.
Site emphasis: We
leave teaching writing to students under 13 to others. Our emphasis
is teaching ordinary teen-age and adult students to write efficiently
and effectively when their instructor or job demands that they write.
We leave fiction journal-writing, video creation and the like to
others.
