Frode Jensen's Wordsmiths English Curriculum

Jensen's Format Writing

By Frode Jensen

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."

3/05 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.

Journey Through Grammar Land

Journey Through Grammar Land is a modern Pilgrim’s Progress type allegory that teaches language skills in an enjoyable fashion.

"These books have been successfully used by three different types of students. One group is young children who need a solid grammar foundation and are in the fifth or sixth grade. A second group consists of those who have not done well using traditional texts; the Grammar Land books offer a change of pace and method which is often appealing to this type of student. The third group finding success with these books is made up of varying ages who need remediation. These students are often older, junior high or high school; experience has shown that many of them find the format and material very much to their taste, and they consequently do quite well. There are five parts currently published in three books."  Grades 5 - 7.
