resource that allows kids to be the diverse group of individuals
they can and want to be—and at the same time paves a route for them
to meet the Common Core Standards. . . . I really wish I had
written this resource. Having read it, it is tough not to be
jealous."
*Stephanie Harvey, Coauthor of Strategies That Work, Second
Edition*
"High-Impact Writing Clinics is a unique, practical, clever, and
just-right-for-the-times resource. Poetry is an integral part of
the Common Core Standards. And just in time, here comes a truly
easy-to-use resource, with all the connections made, lessons
provided, ready-to-use slides, and texts included. If you can turn
on PowerPoint, you can teach these lessons!"

Secret*
"Is poetry relevant in this era of Common Core? Absolutely! Anyone
who doubts this needs to pick up this remarkable book by Sara
Holbrook and Michael Salinger, who show how poetry is not only
relevant but an engaging way for students to meet these rigorous
standards. . . . Sara and Michael show students (and their
teachers) the power of imagination and observation, even as they
read closely and work to meet the standards."
*Stevi Quate, Independent Consultant and Staff Developer*
"I highly recommend this resource for all teachers. In addition to
showing how each lesson addresses the CCSS, Sara and Michael
demystify poetry writing for students of all ages. This book also
includes poems that exemplify, extend, and reinforce each lesson.
Using High-Impact Writing Clinics is like having Sara and Michael
as enthusiastic co-teachers in your own classroom."
*Beverly Ann Chin, Ph.D., Director*
"As I read High-Impact Writing Clinics, I felt as though I had been
transported back to my own classroom with two amazing poets in
residence. Sara Holbrook and Michael Salinger give teachers and
writers the tools to make the world stand still so we can capture a
moment in words. The lessons and original poems bring writers to
the sights and sounds that are at the heart of a real writing
workshop."
