Let’s Teach!

Brief like the student book, this little guide includes just those resources that will be most useful for instructors. Written by Andrea Lunsford, Let’s Teach! is based on her own 50+ years of teaching writing.

Classroom activities and sample writing assignments support every chapter in the core book.
Brief guides to the readings, including teaching suggestions, help instructors incorporate the anthology of readings into their existing course.

What Instructors and Students Are Saying

“[InQuizitive] was SUPER fun! I truly enjoyed it, and I found it to be something I looked forward to doing. It didn’t feel like classwork. It felt like a game that stimulated you to think.”

— student at California State University, East Bay

“I have used InQuizitive in my 101s for years because it is well-designed and my students love it. It allows me to focus on the higher-order pedagogy of writing instruction. Quite simply, it is indispensable.”

— Richard Potsubay, Green River College

“As a writing instructor who teaches in-person and online, this is just the kind of content I’ve been waiting on from Norton. The videos I’ve seen so far clearly address the concerns that so many students have about their writing, and does so in a concise and modern way.”
