Summary

Many students have a tough time finding success in their college writing courses. J.K. Dennis has found a solution to this problem. Dennis has created a practical workbook that will help students quickly improve their writing skills. For the first time, teachers, tutors, and home-schoolers have one book that addresses the three major areas of writing studies in English. Section I gives students an opportunity to explore and apply the basic elements of short fiction and poetry. Section II helps students develop an understanding of the role of memos, letters, and resumes in the workplace. Section III introduces students to the essay, basic research methods, documentation, and citation. This unique book also includes a handbook on grammar and punctuation, a reference bibliography, evaluation forms, and instructional notes. With more than 50 samples and practice assignments, Dennis' book is a powerful supplementary teaching tool for those who are searching for better ways to teach writing.
