Book Overview
"Sentence composing provides acrobatic training in sentence dexterity...using literature as a writing school with a faculty of professional writers who virtually teach students to build better sentences."
--Don and Jenny Killgallon
Getting Started with High School Sentence Composing introduces the powerful sentence-composing approach. Using real sentences by authors as models, it provides practice with five sentence parts, or tools, that research shows skilled writers use to create high-quality, variety-packed writing:
Extenders to enlarge meaning within a sentence Identifiers to identify someone or something Describers to describe someone or something Elaborators to add details for full understanding Combos to combine tools within a sentence
Along the way, Don and Jenny Killgallon provide help for students, including:
Basic sentence ideas--Activities to understand subjects, predicates, and their relationship to those five tools Broken sentences--Exercises to identify, avoid, and repair fragments Vocabulary scaffolds--"Quickshots" to include an immediate, clear definition in context for challenging words.Format:Paperback
