started, you find yourself frustrated about what to say, how much
detail to provide, how to structure your paragraphs with pertinent
evidence and compelling arguments, or how to express your ideas
boldly, then this book is for you. It takes you through each step
of the process of writing, offering wisdom about the key purpose of
each essay type (which is the basis upon which your work will be
assessed) and suggesting ways to tackle each phase of writing.

reflective, descriptive, analytical, comparison-contrast,
cause-effect, classification, research, explication, definition,
precis, and even exam essays, with helpful examples of each. You
will learn how to prepare by reading closely and yet efficiently,
how to generate insights about your topic, how to put together a
well-structured draft, with sufficient evidence to support your
claims, and how to revise to express your ideas in concise, clear,
and eloquent language. There is also a section on how to avoid
plagiarism and cite your sources in MLA, APA, or CMS format. The
book is structured to allow you to tackle the steps in any order
you like, as needed. Let this guide help you find confidence and
success on your next essay
Each volume of Drama for Students contains easily accessible and
content-rich discussions of the literary and historical background
of 12 to 15 works from various cultures and time periods. Each play
covered in this new resource was specially chosen by an advisory
panel of teachers and librarians -- experts who have helped us
define the information needs of students and ensure the
age-appropriateness of this references content. Each volume
(beginning with volume 27) will include two Literature to Film
entries. Entries profiling film versions of plays not only
diversify the study of drama but support alternate learning styles,
media literacy, and film studies curricula as well. Here are some
of the plays they will find: 9 Parts of Desire by Heather Raffo,
Desire Under the Elms by Eugene ONeill, Henrietta by Karen
Jones-Meadows, Robert Johnson: Trick the Devil by Bill Harris, and
The Trojan Women by Euripides.PIM31-MAY-1801
