I use anything Gretchen Bernabai and Barry Lane. They are awesome teachers of writing and they have a great sense of humor that gels into their instructional books. Barry Lane's book Hooked on Meaning is great and it comes with a DVD with short mini lessons. My students love them! Gretchen Bernabai has a great blogspot and books that offer great craft writing lessons. She has just come out with a book for grammar called Grammar Keepers and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Good luck!
