This is absolutely an invaluable resource. Writing is the most difficult part of English to teach, and the area most students are weak. This resource truly supplements my instruction.
I will incorporate these lessons more thoroughly next semester and compare student success.

This is one of the best essay lessons I have ever come across. It is time consuming in the beginning. but the kids really "get it"!

Thanks so much, Jessica! I have found that once I take the time to really teach my students the essential skills at the beginning, I never have to go back and teach them these skills. That is the beauty of this program...by getting the students to learn the essentials in a step-by step manner, they feel less overwhelmed and intimidated about writing. Once they realize they have been learning how to write an essay even though those early steps, they are ecstatic--because later they KNOW that they then have the skills to write a great essay!
