Students arrange jumbled sentences into logical order, discuss their arrangements, and then copy the ordered sentences to form papers which model basic rhetorical patterns. These text reconstruction exercises are interspersed with assignments asking students to write original papers using the patterns they have learned. The combination of text reconstruction and original-writing assignments strengthens all language skills, ranging from comprehension and logical organization to grammar and spelling ability. Students develop the confidence and competence to express their ideas in well-organized papers using the conventions of standard written English. The Whimbey Writing Program uses authentic and meaningful text rather than artificial exercises.
