Product Description
Grades 7-12. How do you help your student improve their essay writing skills? This workbook painlessly walks your student through the process. Topics included are: Brainstorming; Write and Support a Point Sentence; Develop the Paragraph, and How to Use an Edit Sheet. Writing with a Point begins by focusing on methods to help students narrow a writing topic using 2 main strategies, brainstorming and observing. These strategies, used in a variety of exercises, are tools for generating ideas as well as for finding details to support them. This book also emphasizes techniques to help students clarify their ideas: categorizing, condensing thoughts into brief, precise statements, and focusing on what the author calls a point sentence, a technique that gives students a one-sentence blueprint for a paragraph.
