This teacher manual is required for use with the Frontiers in Writing student text. The wraparound format provides just enough teacher guidance with student pages. You’ll find directions for the necessary Structure and Style videos, which will prepare you for each lesson. This course is easy to implement and easy to evaluate. Although your involvement as teacher is required, the course is fairly pick-up-and-go. I appreciate the rubric-style grading checklists provided at the end of each lesson. Each checklist will include elements the students are familiar with plus one new element, with points given for such things as the student’s composition structure, mechanics, vocabulary, etc. Appendices include a list of literature to consider, mechanics, vocabulary, and review games. Purchase of the teacher’s manual allows PDF downloads for the reproducible checklists, vocabulary cards, and exemplars. Not reproducible. Spiral-bound softcover, 291 pgs. ~ Ruth
