All Write Student Handbook
Description
All Write was written to help middle-school students “catch up” and move ahead, whether English is their first or second language. The Handbook is very user-friendly and contains clear guidelines, models, checklists, illustrations, and tips designed to meet the needs of your students. Here are just some of the highlights you’ll find in All Write!
- Carefully chosen student essays, narratives, and arguments will help students improve their writing skills by “modeling” what other students have written.
- Clearly stated explanations and guidelines will help your students master a variety of classroom skills—from listening to note-taking to test-taking, from study-reading to thinking to speaking.
- Thoughtfully planned chapters will help students improve their writing, thinking, and communication skills in all subject areas: science, social studies, and math.
