Query: Not that useful for the homeschooler

I read long narratives about trait based writing and ideas for public school classrooms, but I think this book would have been more useful with reproducible lessons already created and some examples of students' writing, to show what one could achieve. Some of the author's ideas were good but it would have been much better and more useful if she had laid out her lessons with the forms for each lessons together with the lesson. For my money I like Barbara Mariconda's "Super Story-Writing Strategies & Activities" and by the same author "The Most Wonderful Writing Lessons Ever." also 25 Mini-Lessons for Teaching Writing by Adele Fiderer. These three little books I have found myself coming back to day after day to help zero in on the needs of the student.
