Description
A foundational goal for strong writing is effective paragraphs: descriptive, narrative, persuasive, expository, and comparative. Use this text as a supplement, or combine with grammar, mechanics, and spelling for a full composition course. The structure of this publication permits educators to tailor pacing and usage to individual needs. Lessons direct students to create each of the 5 paragraphs following the same steps: choose a subject, create details, organize the outline, write a topic sentence, review, order supporting details, write a conclusion, write rough and final draft (11 total). Directions are in large font, with sample passages even larger, making analysis easier. Passages are student friendly, short and varied; themes often include holiday activities (Halloween Trick or Treating, Easter Egg Hunts, Christmas tree trimming, without religious content). Each student will need this book and a 2-pocket, 3-ring binder to store work which becomes a final portfolio. An answer key is available online. ~ Ruth
