Summary "In Writing to the Prompt, Janet Angelillo demonstrates how to apply the best practices you already know to help students succeed in the uncertain and challenging environment of on-demand writing--without abandoning your writing workshop or devaluing topic choice. Beginning with a framework for thinking about writing to prompts, Angelillo builds a complete unit of study for use in any writing workshop, including strategies for addressing the rigors of timed-test situations and practical suggestions for ongoing assessment."--Jacket.
