Middle and high school teachers are provided with ideas for making good inquiry-based reading and writing lessons better with the addition of Web 2.0 tools, including Wikipedia. After a discussion of the ideas of educational theorists and well-known names in writing studies, lessons in four areas are presented: pre-writing or invention, responsive writing, purposeful writing cutting across different kinds of texts and media objects, and social action writing. Each lesson plan includes a list of materials, goal and rationale, connections to curriculum standards, student objectives, and step-by-step activities. Lessons also provide suggestions for adapting elements of the makeover for other content areas, and suggestions for teaching ELLs. Chapter summaries, discussion questions, and b&w photos are included. The book ends with lists of terms every teacher should know, people to Google, professional organizations, books, journals, and web sites for teachers, and free online tools.
