This book prepares students to judge and improve their own performance. When students learn from their own mistakes, they grow in their command of the language.
Students practice writing paragraphs, dialogue, comparisons, and letters of persuasion.
They write a short story in which the reader is left hanging at a critical moment, and they compose a letter. They complete a description of themselves, a friend, the classroom. Space is provided for work to be done right in the workbook. Tape scripts and answers are presented in the back of the workbook. The entire script, with correct answers and dictations, is appended to the workbook.
