A diamond in the rough!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
It took a lot of effort on my part, as the teacher, to understand the concept, BUT it was well worth the effort. This is not a quick-fix, easy-to-do worksheet approach so if a teacher is looking for something quick and easy, he/she will need to look elsewhere. Instead, this is a resource that can be used throughout the year to teach specific techniques in writing by reading good literature, breaking it down into lessons on writing strong leads, using your senses, creating characters, and more. I found this resource extremely valuable and helpful in training children to write both fiction and nonfiction. I recommend it to classroom teachers as well as homeschoolers who are willing to take the time necessary to teach children to write interesting and effective compositions.
