Choices: Writing Projects for Students of ESL [Paperback]

Carole Turkenik (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1995

Choices is a thematically organized process-based writing text for intermediate-level students. Organized into projects, each with a theme that can appeal to all adults, the text takes students through the whole writing process - brainstorming, drafting, peer review, revision, and editing - with each step clearly delineated, discussed, and practiced. Variations on each step are introduced as students proceed. Each project introduces students to an aspect of good writing, such as unity, development, and coherence. Choices focuses on writing from personal experience but also offers students a variety of writing opportunities in the form of alternative assignments that are academic in nature. The book also features extensive journal writing with each project, along with a long and varied list of journal topics. A special grammar and editing section helps students solve the kinds of problems frequently encountered in writing.
