The Writer's Response
"I love Part 1. The strengths of this section are that we begin at a basic level of comprehending what we write and read, and then identifying what is most important in that. I find the blue-shaded "student writing" helpful. I make sure my students read those, and watch the paragraphs develop into organized, detailed and unified essays.""I really like the way the readings are integrated into the text! I have always held firm that reading and writing go hand-in-hand."
