Description
The Getting Your Point Across in Writing: How to Write Essays That Have Impact Set contains the book, accompanying learning guide, exams and exam answers. The learning guide is the source of the program that spells out the purpose, reading assignments, writing practice activities, prompts for the student to discuss with the supervisor/teacher, and fill-in-the-blank short answer exercises. While the learning guides are only paper the material goes through the process of developing a good idea, and builds through connecting ideas, to writing narrative essay, descriptive essay, expository essay, and persuasive essays. This course would be a nice edition to a Jr. High English class curriculum. ~Judy

Category Description for Heron Book Complete Writing Series (4-12)
The writing curriculum offered by Heron Press emphasizes a self-paced mastery approach to learning grammar and composition. While not a heavy writing or grammar course, it seems to be very well-designed. The straightforward way the materials are presented alongside the course learning guides should permit most students to complete the program on their own. The publisher also has a Public Speaking Course (#035125) that compliments the series. Most sets include a student text, workbook, learning guide, exams and exam guides, and a materials list. While most of the learning guides are printed simply on plain paper and stapled in the corner, they really do seem to be the hub of the curriculum, essentially serving as a lesson plan.
These books and materials are secular in focus and philosophy. The publisher is associated with L. Ron Hubbard, but we didn't see any overt evidence of religious content. This is a well-designed series, with an emphasis on simplicity and focusing on the message.
