Across America, in thousands of classrooms, from elementary
school to high school, the time-tested sentence-composing approach
has given students tools to become better writers. Now the
Killgallons present a much anticipated sentence-composing grammar
worktext for college writing.
GRAMMAR FOR COLLEGE WRITING: A Sentence-Composing Approach
presents a new and easier way to understand grammar: NOUN GROUP:
The Naming Tools VERB GROUP: The Narrating Tools ADJECTIVE GROUP:
The Describing Tools ADVERB GROUP: The Explaining Tools
Within each group, using model sentences by authors, students
learn and practice words, phrases, and clauses that share the
group's function. The Killgallons' accessible approach develops
students' use of twenty-one grammatical tools to build sentences
like those of recognizable authors. All tools are practiced through
the Killgallons' signature methods: matching, unscrambling,
combining, imitating, exchanging, expanding. Each tool is
introduced with a clear definition and characteristics; practiced
through six varied sentence-composing activities; then applied in
an academic or creative composition that spotlights the tool.
Students learn from model sentences chosen for two reasons:
their grammatical structure (the sentence in the story) and their
interesting content (the story in the sentence). GRAMMAR FOR
COLLEGE WRITING gives students the chance to absorb and replicate
the grammatical tools used by John Steinbeck, J. K. Rowling, Ernest
Hemingway, Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou, Truman Capote, Stephen
King, and hundreds more.
This worktext works beyond preparing first-year college students
for college writing. It is well suited for many contexts:
Before College- Students in honors or AP classes Students in
grammar or creative writing electives.
During College- Students in required first-year writing courses,
or electives in grammar, rhetoric, style, linguistics, literary
language, or creative writing Prospective English teachers in
methods, grammar, or linguistics courses.
After College- Teachers participating in curriculum or
in-service workshops Teachers wanting a self-study approach to
learning grammar to improve their own or their students'
writing.
An online instructor's manual includes background information,
advice, tips, resources, and the original professional sentences
used for activities.
GRAMMAR FOR COLLEGE WRITING: A Sentence-Composing Approach is
the most comprehensive worktext yet from the originators of that
approach: the Killgallons. Guide your students toward mastery of
the "grammar of the greats" by inviting hundreds of great authors
to serve as their mentors-and the Killgallons as their guides.
