The Getting Writing Right Set consists of a practical writer's handbook, accompanying learning guides, exams, and exam keys.
The Getting Writing Right book is a writer's handbook that covers punctuation and provides grammar references. Part 1 of the book covers punctuation, part 2 covers grammar, and the book ends with the grammar at a glance section and topical index. Seven individual learning guides, as well as the exams and exam keys provide the students with a self-guided lesson plan. While not very lengthy, each learning guide serves the purpose well with How tos, reading assignments from the book, drill assignments, teacher check points, practical application writing assignments and a place for the student and supervisor/teacher to sign off when the student completes each guide. There is an exam after each learning guide. Each learning guide gives an estimated time the material should take. I added it up to a total of 38 hours.
Often in high school language arts, the focus switches from being heavier in grammar and punctuation instruction to composition and literature. This would provide a punctuation/grammar check-up and review as part of a high school English course. ~Judy
