Book Description
Written by Joy Reid, the foremost authority on teaching composition to ESL students, this series takes students from beginning-level instruction on basic sentence structure through the development and production of advanced academic papers.Writing examples, opportunities to learn about and produce academic prose, and sequenced assignments that increase in complexity help students build their ability to fulfill academic assignments as high as the university and graduate school levels. Examples of good (and poor) student compositions, written by native and non-native speakers of English, enrich all three books.The Reid hallmark of peer interaction with partners, small groups, and entire classes is an important feature of the books.This book takes students step-by-step through all the processes of academic writing, including audience analysis, choosing and focusing on a topic, generating ideas through pre-writing, and organizing information.-- Helps students build skills with writing examples, opportunities to learn and practice writing academic prose, and sequenced assignments.-- De-emphasizes the importance of discrete grammar points while still covering the necessary basics.-- Encourages classroom interaction through collaborative and group work assignments.-- Employs a writing-reading approach to build student background knowledge.

Book Description
An important challenge to what currently masquerades as conventional wisdom regarding the teaching of writing. There seems to be widespread agreement that—when it comes to the writing skills of college students—we are in the midst of a crisis. In Why They Can't Write, John Warner, who taught writing at the college level for two decades, argues that the problem isn't caused by a lack of rigor, or smartphones, or some generational character defect. Instead, he asserts, we're teaching writing wrong. Warner blames this on decades of educational reform rooted in standardization, assessments, and accountability. We have done no more, Warner argues, than conditioned students to perform "writing-related simulations," which pass temporary muster but do little to help students develop their writing abilities. This style of teaching has made students passive and disengaged. Worse yet, it hasn't prepared them for writing in the college classroom. Rather than making choices and thinking critically, as writers must, undergraduates simply follow the rules—such as the five-paragraph essay—designed to help them pass these high-stakes assessments. In Why They Can't Write, Warner has crafted both a diagnosis for what ails us and a blueprint for fixing a broken system. Combining current knowledge of what works in teaching and learning with the most enduring philosophies of classical education, this book challenges readers to develop the skills, attitudes, knowledge, and habits of mind of strong writers.

Each incremental lesson teaches one step and contains practice examples to build skill and confidence. Students learn: The parts of a paragraph How to write a strong topic sentence How to write relevant details that connect to the topic sentence How to write a meaningful closing sentence For each step, students learn the basic process and then are taught how to "upgrade" the element to be even stronger. For topic sentences, students learn to upgrade by: Adding a question Introducing a comparison Stating an interesting fact Setting the scene with a description Grabbing attention with shock/excitement Similar clearly explained upgrades are taught for relevant details and closing sentences. Being able to write a strong paragraph is important for all students. Students without strong paragraph skills will especially struggle when it comes to essays or other longer writing tasks.
