"Students need elbow room to make decisions about what to write, revise, and publish. Adolescents crave responsibility. This handbook supports students by showing them how to assume greater responsibility and independence with writing assignments."

The Smart Writing Handbook reinforces important lessons from Smart Writing's units of study, summarizes key points, and offers tips, rules, and guidelines for when students are writing on their own. Designed as a compact, easy-to-carry writing guide, the student handbook:

• offers strategic support through the entire writing process
• reviews minilessons that students may have missed or forgotten
• helps students address expected writing conventions including a "Crash Course in Commas."
