Book Description

Publication Date: February 13, 2007 | ISBN-10: 0618767835 | ISBN-13: 978-0618767830 | Edition: 5

Sentences, Paragraphs, and Beyond is the lower-level companion to Paragraphs and Essays in the popular two-level Brandon series. Written in an informal, engaging tone, this easy-to-use text incorporates sentence-level grammar and mechanics with in-depth instruction in the writing process and patterns of writing. New reading instruction offers students the opportunity to analyze readings and practice the text-based writing required in academic environments. Students will master common writing patterns while learning to use texts as a springboard for their own writing in the form of summary, reaction, or response. High-interest, distinctive readings are integrated throughout the Fifth Edition for analysis and as models of good writing. Clear, explicit writing prompts support each reading and focus on text-based, reading-related, cross-curricular, career-related, and general topics. In addition, the photo/art program promotes critical thinking, lively discussion, and analytical writing. Flexibility of instruction permits instructors to emphasize the paragraph or the essay, or to mix units.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Is the best textbook I've found for developmental writing classes. The logical development from parts of speech through the essay makes sense for me and my students."

"I think the reading-centered writing is very useful in providing form and techniques for the students. This approach helps the students create an awareness of using models of writing and putting their own style (voice) into a particular form. I believe that providing clear forms and models gives our students something concrete to build on." --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

I could have reviewed the book if I ever got it. Newly launched seller never replied to e-mails nor sent the book. Be careful of newly launched used book sellers. Had to reorder through another seller and file a claim. What a pain. Not sure I want to use Amazon used book sellers anymore - bad experience and really needed the book for college class asap.
