This particular chapter was very similar to the text Writer's Workshop that we used in my LAE 4314 course. Reading this chapter really did not present a whole lot of new material to me, but was more a refresher.
My favorite part of this chapter was Figure 12.4 where it listed off four different ideas to connect reading and writing. I really liked the writing text for a wordless picture book, which is also a great way to build students vocabulary. Professor Kenney brought in a wordless picture book Flotsam by David Wiesner, and with its brilliant colors and beautiful illustrations would make a great book to use for a writing prompt.
