Synopsis

Designed for use as a textbook in courses in developmental writing.

  • This sentence and paragraph book begins with a general introduction to the writing process. The eight chapters that follow are divided into two carefully integrated sections: Focus on Sentences, and Focus on Paragraphs.
  • Words, sentences and paragraphs are the primary focus of this text, designed to teach the basic skills necessary for effective written communication. Each chapter highlights one of the eight primary purposes for writing, and, working within the context of the essay form and student writing models, demonstrates how to write strong paragraphs and sentences.
  • Students are introduced to specific purposes for writing, using professional and student essays with a controlled reading level; are walked through the writing process using actual student essays; and are asked to compose their own essays based on the purpose they have just studied. Students are then asked some specific questions requiring them to pause and reflect on the writing process before they start the next chapter.
