“Having the example paragraphs and essays already written and the evidence already highlighted makes my life so much easier. Now I know exactly where I'm headed with my students and I no longer feel like I'm faking it.”

Teaching Writing: Revolutionized
Imagine a world where teaching writing is no longer a struggle. Now teachers have an "answer key" for every writing assignment in the student workbook in the form of examples for every paragraph and essay.
The integration of an “answer key” for every writing assignment is a game-changer. No longer do teachers need to spend countless hours constructing their own examples or waste time searching for examples. Instead, they can rely on the color-coded responses, which are tailor-made to address every writing prompt and assignment. The examples equip teachers with a wealth of models that represent outstanding writing. Instructors can then seamlessly integrate the examples into their lessons.
While The Baran Method streamlines the teaching process, this approach does not undermine individual creativity or critical thinking. Writing is at its core an expression of ideas, and our teacher editions give ample room for educators to encourage students to develop their own style. Indeed, The Baran Method “answer key” helps inspire students to think creatively and develop their own unique writing abilities.
The teacher edition contains all of the assignments found in The Baran Method Workbooks. Furthermore, to simplify the teaching process, each assignment in the teacher edition has color-coded blue, green, and red example paragraphs and essays.
Note: each reading has the evidence highlighted in green.
The teacher editions come in Single Grade and Multi-Grade Editions. Every Baran Method Teacher Edition includes The Baran Method: Writing for Success textbook and all of the corresponding Baran Method Workbooks.
Finally, the teacher edition is coil bound so that it can conveniently lay flat on the desk.
