SKILLSBOOK WRITE SOURCE G2

Write Source its very name emphasizes what has always been true of this program. It's a cohesive and tightly woven spiral of writing instruction. Starting in grade one and continuing through grade twelve, the writing process along with the various forms of writing are presented, modeled, illustrated, taught, utilized and expanded. Thoroughly integrated with the writing instruction is an exhaustive (but not exhausting) examination of grammar usage. The graphical presentation is organized, colorful, energetic, and very pleasing to the eye. Whether you classify this program as "English" or "Language Arts", it's comprehensive and thorough and, if utilizing just some of the literature suggestions, would be beyond "enough" and into the realm of "amazing."It's hard to know how much information to give concerning the scope and sequence of these courses. The writing process (prewriting, writing, revising, editing, and publishing) and how it applies to all forms of writing (descriptive, narrative, expository, persuasive, response to literature, creative, research) is central to all of the courses. Although the individual writing assignments vary from grade to grade, there is a broad representation of the different forms of writing at each level. Integration across the curriculum includes assignments and activities that apply the various writing forms to major content areas (science, social studies, math, and the arts). Multimedia reports, email communications, planning personal websites, and up-to-date information on citing electronic sources are integrated with more traditional writing expectations
