I can hardly believe I will soon have two high school graduates! Our writing curriculum over the years has been haphazard.
What do you use to teach writing to older students?

Ours has been pretty haphazard as well. I was lucky with my first. I did not have to teach him how to write. He just writes, and very well. It has always come naturally to him so I really never had to teach it. My second is not that way. She is a good writer, once she gets past her self-doubt and the "I can'ts". This year we want to work thru a book called "Writing Power" which is put out by Kaplan. But right now she's taking co-op classes that include writing (altho' they are not specifically writing classes) and that's enough so we're leaving Writing Power for next semester. I also have Write Shop, but we haven't actually gone thru that yet. I hear good things about it, though, and hope to use it with her in 11th & 12th grades, and with my younger two sometime during high school.
