 New
upgraded edition of Jensen's Format Writing teaches expository writing:
Paragraphs, essays, and research papers. It is excellent for teaching the
college bound to write papers quickly.
According to Mr. Jensen: "You and your students will find practical applications
for the 5 paragraph essays when writing book reports and responding to essay
test questions. A completely new section on business writing has been added so
students will know how to write for information, send a complaint, and even
write to government officials. The section on how to write a great resume could
easily pay for the cost of the book many times over again."

Jensen's Format Writing was chosen by Cathy Duffy as on of her "100 Top Picks
for Homeschool Curriculum" in the language arts: grammar and composition
category.
From Heart to Page is a booklet about journal writing. It is
designed for grades 4-8 but would be good for any reluctant writer. It is set up
with topic starters for many days, 50 each for fall, winter and spring with
another 30 for the summer months. The design is to take a young writer through
an entire year of journaling. A bonus section in the back gives multiple ideas
for continuing on.
Writing to Change the World helps young folks get into print.
The subtitle says it all: "How to Style Your Writing for Publication." Susan
Brown, the author, knows whereof she speaks; she has written hundreds of
articles, reviews, short stories, and devotions which have appeared in print.
