If you aren't connected to a student, you don't have much. In [</em>Feedbck That Moves Writers Forward<em>] Patty McGee says, 'Essential to effective feedback is to know our young writers-who they are, what makes them tick, and how they identify their strengths.' She goes on to say that this identity is so important because 'when a writer possesses a positive and strong writing identity, he or she is more inclined to invest in writing with passion and engagement.' The book has many suggestions for ways to get to know your writers and even examples that show the power of knowing a writer's identity. </em>--Where's the Joy (blog)<br><br><em>Writing identity, growth mindset, and ownership and agency are central themes throughout the book. What stood out to me is the way Patty McGee makes the case that teacher language about students as writers and student writing is one of the biggest factors in a student's growth. . . . If you've ever found yourself unsure of what to say in a conference, [</em>Feedback That Moves Writers Forward<em>] is the book for you! McGee offers helpful language for teachers to use with writers in all situations. I was struck by how supportive and strategic the words she suggests were- tweaks in phrasing that will make all the difference.</em>--Kathleen Neagle Sokolowski "Two Writing Teachers (blog)"<br><br>[Feedback That Moves Writers Forward]<em> changed my mindset from teaching writing to teaching writers. It's a subtle difference, but an important one.. . . Planning scaffolds, real world examples, prompts will all become part of our regular learning. Students loved the JK Rowling example of planning for one of the Harry Potter books (Order of the Phoenix). The practical processes, reflection, conferencing, and feedback that Patty describes in the book have already helped me begin to meet students where they are with their writing.<br/> I loved seeing them struggle with planning timelines, the collaboration and sharing of ideas, and actual writing that has been evident in our first few days back for term (or trimester) three. They value what they are writing because it has meaning to them, and because they themselves will be self-assessing, students are carefully editing as they go.<br/> </em> <em> </em>--Abe Moore<br>
