From the Back Cover:
Key Benefit: The first full-color book in the developmental writing market, this book focuses on helping readers build paragraph and essay writing skills. With its encouraging tone, careful explanations, and abundance of carefully sequenced and incrementally challenging exercise sets, it enables readers to view writing as a means of discovering more about themselves and their surroundings. Key Topics: Part 1 offers a thorough overview of the writing process, including exercises that help readers examine their attitudes and fears about writing. Part 2 introduces the patterns of paragraph development, and Part 3 provides a transition to essay writing, showing how to apply the patterns in longer pieces and adapt them for essay exams. Self-contained chapters in Parts 4 through 6 provide review and extensive practice in the areas of grammar, punctuation, and mechanics. Part 7 is an anthology of readings, and includes an introduction on critical reading and comprehension as well as writing exercises. Appendices on writing with a word processor and tips for ESL readers conclude the book. Market: For professionals wishing to improve their writing skills.
