Great Sentences for Great Paragraphs

The text uses sample paragraphs to provide students with authentic input regarding English composition, paragraph organization, and cohesion. In addition, contextualized grammar activities, suggestions for additional writing practice, journal-writing assignments, and an emphasis on peer editing all work together to help students develop academic writing skills.

Building Better Sentences encourages students to practice constructing and combining sentences—the cornerstones of good paragraph writing. Many guided writing activities are supported by additional online material and provide independent practice of targeted structures.
