Our time is flying by, but we still have several gifts we want to give you. Today’s gift will help you be a better writing teacher, showing ways to avoid potential pitfalls in your instruction and helping your students build their â€Å"writing team† by finding an editor who will assist them with their basic grammar and spelling. First up is the audio recording The Four Deadly Errors of Teaching Writing. Teaching writing is tough; there’s no doubt about it. Andrew Pudewa’s audio presentation will help you demystify how to teach writing to your students by revealing four instructional errors educators are prone to make in their classes. Knowing these errors will help you avoid them altogether, which will empower you to focus instead on building your students into competent communicators. Behind every successful writer is an editor. If professional writers utilize editors, how much more important is it for beginning writers to have their own editor? Another gift we are sharing with you today is a video clip from Structure and Style for Students where Andrew Pudewa explains the importance of students â€Å"hiring† their own editor. For most students, that first editor is a parent. To help you further, we are also gifting to you a PDF of the â€Å"letter to the editor† that Andrew sends home with his students. We hope it will inspire you to create your own letter to the editor. And don’t forget! Throughout our Twelve Days of Christmas Giving event, we will continue to gift the first lesson and handouts of Structure and Style for Students as well as a code for free shipping. The days keep coming, and the gifts keep being given. Day ten is just around the corner, so be sure to check back tomorrow for more gifts we have to share. See you soon!
