First published in 1987, In the Middle has been widely hailed for its honest examination of how teachers teach, how students learn, and the gap that lies between. In the second edition, Atwell reflects on the next 10 years of her experience, rethinks and clarifies old methods, and demonstrates new, more effective approaches. Including new chapters on genre, evaluation, and the teacher as writer, this edition also offers new mini-lessons, new ideas for writing and reading workshops, lists of essential books, and forms for keeping track of students' reading and writing.
