There is no such thing as too much writing practice. These two-part binder programs build writing skills incrementally from bright idea to polished final product.
By inviting students to “show what they know” in a variety of new formats, these stimulating lessons will enable students, many for the first time, to actually enjoy the writing process. With these binders the dual emphasis in writing is on (1) mastery of the basics and (2) improved critical thinking.
