Writing is a skill, and to grow, it must be practiced. This is a step-by-step guide to writing from the ground up. Students will start by writing about things that interest them, followed by things that they want to know more about. The five-paragraph essay construction is taught, followed by the steps to writing a research paper, from the ideas to outline to first draft to edit and finally, the final draft. The Dyslexia font by Christian Boer helps students read and process easier and isn’t as overwhelming. The journal includes all the prompts, diagrams, and space needed to write seven essays and seven research papers. Instructions for constructing footnotes are found in the appendix. 253 pgs, pb. ~Amber
