Assignment 7- follow up

Implementing Jeff Anderson's teaching techniques has had the greatest impact on my teaching style. Using well-written literature and evaluating that piece with my students has been extremely helpful.   I have never used another author's piece  of writing to analyze and create discussion from.  I have found students have a deeper level of understanding for the writing process by using Jeff's teaching style.  The power-writes have been implemented two times per week in my classroom, and I see a huge improvement in their writing and confidence. Going to the NIWP conference has really changed my teaching style...for the better!
