It is what it says it is

This is a good workbook for introducing sentence-combining into a high school English class. The first half of the book uses sentence combining to introduce/review the writing process, offering students "invitations" to write based on the exercises. The exercises themselves are often topical, and the writing invitations generally ask students to write about themselves and their experiences. The second half of the book uses sentence combining to review grammar, including the parts of speech, usage, clauses and phrases, and punctuation.My only criticism of the Toolbox is that it is perhaps too ambitious. By trying to be all things, I felt it does not provide enough depth, especially about the writing process (compared to, say, Writers Inc). Of course, if you wish to use it as a supplement to your classroom instruction, it is more than sufficient.
