The Getting Your Point Across in Writing: How to Write Essays That Have Impact Set contains the book, accompanying learning guide, exams and exam answers. The learning guide is the source of the program that spells out the purpose, reading assignments, writing practice activities, prompts for the student to discuss with the supervisor/teacher, and fill-in-the-blank short answer exercises. While the learning guides are only paper the material goes through the process of developing a good idea, and builds through connecting ideas, to writing narrative essay, descriptive essay, expository essay, and persuasive essays. This course would be a nice edition to a Jr. High English class curriculum. ~Judy
