• Is not a writing handbook. It is not a writing guide or a grammar text, either. Nor is it a reader. It really is a writing textbookone that uses a completely new and unique approach to the task of teaching students what they need to know about writing.
• Uses a series of exercises to equip students with the same ""sentence sense""an unerring sense of the subordination, parallelism and punctuation of sentencesthat professional writers possess. By observing the structure of sentences, students will begin to see them in a new way and will be able to write more skillfully and confidently.
