Lawrence Baines, Ph.D.
| Name | Lawrence Baines, Ph.D. |
| Location | Normal, Oklahoma |
| Role | Professor of English Education |
I know of no better source for lessons and ideas than ReadWriteThink.org. Not only are the lessons useful, engaging, up-to-date, and easy to access, the price is right (free).
Lawrence Baines is a professor of English Education at The University of Oklahoma who has worked in over 350 schools. Baines is obsessed with the peculiar art of teaching writing to adolescents, and recently penned the book Going Bohemian: How to Teach Writing Like You Mean It (published by IRA in 2010) with his buddy Anthony Kunkel.
