Building on the premise that learning grammar will lead to better writing, this collection of incremental exercises teaches concepts slowly, each with plenty of review and practice. Exercises stay away from the concrete 'right' answer approach, instead allowing a student room to demonstrate an understanding of the lesson, as well as creativity. Simply explained concepts make grammar accessible, while examples from classic authors provide the very best in writing to emulate. Concepts covered include modifiers; the verb, noun, and absolute phrase; the adjective and adverb clause; narration; description; exposition; and the paragraph. 122 non-reproducible pages, softcover. Book is three-hole-punched to fit into a three-ring-binder. Answers and sample answers are provided in the sold-separately Writing Plus Teacher's Guide, Book 3. |
