Solid Writing Textbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
GRASSROOTS is a textbook on writing. It's written in a very easy-to-read style with some very good exercises and serves as a good tool to use when helping people improve their writing skills. I used some of the exercises from the book for my senior high school English classes. The book is broken into nine sections: writing forceful paragraphs; writing complete sentences; using verbs effectively; joining ideas together; choosing the right noun, pronoun, adjective, adverb, or preposition; revising for consistency and parallelism; mastering mechanics; improving your spelling; and reading selections and quotation bank. Writing is a process, but one that is not easy to define. This is something that many students have difficulty understanding. However, there are similar parts of the process that most writers seem to share and GRASSROOTS does an excellent job of explaining that, starting with explaining what the purpose or writing is and why we write. GRASSROOTS is an excellent, straight-forward textbook about writing.
