I liked reading that you group students by the next task they need to complete - which may also be by ability level - but seems less about that and more about where students are in their writing and what they should be working on next.

When my students had to write a sequel to "The Tell-Tale Heart", it was the most in-depth writing that they had done to date and there were very few completes when my feedback was to add more details and elaborate!

It's so helpful to have that starting point with them -- plus it keeps them from getting too overwhelmed all at once.
