[LIT] Writing Centers in Middle School?

[May Dartez]

Beverly,

Thank you so much for posting this. It is very interesting to me, 
because my district is establishing
a brand new middle school next year, and I am to be the Title Language 
Arts teacher, I believe.
The position is supposed to be collaborative, and I am thinking that 
setting up a writing lab might
be a great way to be able to help the lowest writers in our school and 
also collaborate with all the
teachers.

I ordered the suggested book about setting up a peer-tutor centered 
writing lab.

I am hoping to approach my assistant principal with the idea next week.
