"Focus on Writing" is an academic writing program that provides
students with essential tools to master not only the key steps in
the writing process, but also the grammatical structures, lexical
knowledge, and rhetorical modes essential for academic writing.
This five-level series progresses with students as they grow in
confidence and ability from sentence level (Book 1) through
paragraphs (Books 1-3) and essays (Books 3-5). Each unit leads
writers step-by-step through the process of prewriting, writing a
first draft, revising, and editing before producing a final draft.
Not only do students write an entire paragraph or essay in each
unit, they are also given plenty of practice at the sentence and
word levels. Features:
- Each unit teaches students how to use one or more common
organizational structures: narrative, description, opinion,
persuasion, compare-contrast, problem-solution, and
cause-effect.
- High-interest readings and a choice of writing assignments
provide a springboard for students' writing.
- Grammar presentation and practice correlated to Focus on
Grammar make the connection between grammar and writing clear.
- Building Word Knowledge mini-lessons and exercises teach
students' how to use word forms, collocations, idioms, compounds,
descriptive details, phrasal verbs and other types of vocabulary in
their writing.
- Revision and Editing checklists for each writing assignment
help students rewrite and polish their first drafts.
- Online Teacher's Manuals contain model lesson plans, unit
overviews, timed writing assignments, authentic student models, and
answer keys.
