Product Description:
Focusing on sentences only (no paragraph instruction), Easy Writing teaches students how to write higher level sentences with varied sentence structure. Divided into two levels--elementary (grades 4-6) and junior high/high school--each level begins with easier instruction and progresses to more difficult concepts. There are eight units in each level, each focusing on items in a series, semicolons, appositives, present participial phrases, past participial phrases, having + past participles, subordinate clauses, and relative clauses. Instruction is clear and straightforward. Each skill usually has two lessons to reinforce concepts; students may not need to do every lesson. To promote mastery, students should practice what they have learned by incorporating concepts into their writing. Use Easy Writing as a unit of study or a couple of days each week throughout the year.
This book offers a good balance of instruction, examples and practice. After finishing the book, students will be very familiar with complex sentences and will have the knowledge to use more compelling sentences in their writing. Answers are included in the back. Pages are reproducible for noncommercial use only. ~ Gina
