Grammar for High School: A Sentence-Composing Approach---A Student Worktext

Across America, in thousands of classrooms, Don and Jenny Killgallon's sentence-composing approach has given students tools to become more proficient, sophisticated writers. Now the Killgallons present the first-ever high school grammar book that teaches grammar through sentence composing. <div><em>Grammar for High School: A Sentence-Composing Approach </em>gives students the chance to absorb and replicate the grammar used in some of the finest novels, including student favorites and curricular standbys such as John Steinbeck's <em>Of Mice and Men</em>, Harper Lee's <em>To Kill a Mockingbird</em>, Ernest Hemingway's <em>The Old Man and the Sea</em>, and William Golding's <em>Lord of the Flies</em>.</div> <div>Fourteen grammatical structures are developed as writing tools in an accessible, understandable, and similar manner through the sentence-composing approach. For each structure students will:</div> <ul style="list-style-type: disc;"> <li>learn a clear definition of its characteristics and function </li> <li>practice it through five guided sentence-composing activities </li> <li>deepen their understanding through an independent creative writing activity </li> <li>vary the tools through multiplying and combining them. </li> </ul> <div>Students and teachers will quickly discover how powerful the sentence-composing approach can be for learning grammar-and for raising students' writing abilities to new, exciting levels.</div> <p>An online teacher's guide accompanies <em>Grammar for High School</em> and includes advice, tips, resources, answer keys, and even curricular plans for teachers who are either new to the Killgallon approach or sentence-composing veterans. </p> <p><strong><em>Teacher's Booklet </em></strong>-- guidance for teaching with this particular student worktext, including pacing suggestions and answer key</p> <ul> <li><strong>FREE TEACHER'S BOOKLET (DOWNLOAD)</strong></li> <li><strong>FREE TEACHER'S BOOKLET (MAILED PRINT COPY)</strong></li> </ul>
