The Writing Power series is unlike most other writing
textbooks. Rather than focusing on one are of writing, such as fluency,
language use, academic writing, or social writing the series includes
all of them to give students practicl skills for writing in many
different situations. It is also contains four separate parts that
concentrate on four important aspects of writing proficiency. The
structure is flexible, allowing the teacher to assign work from
different sections concurrently to target students' greatest needs. To
support and supplement in-class practice there is a Writing Power blog.
Teachers can log on to set up a private class blog, where students can
post writing assignments and communicate with classmates in a fun online
environment.
