Publisher's Synopsis
This book uses a unique method created by the author to teach a very simple graphic organizer to students of any age. The main focus of this book is teaching the student to turn a prompt into a topic as well as pre-plan within a limited time frame. Students pre-plan using a structured consistent organizer. Once they master the technique, the student can write about any subject from a learned comfort level based on repetetive practice. The book allows teachers to copy the pages into transparencies to be used on an overhead. It includes unique peer edit pages that allow teachers, parents, and students to analyze their essays with regard to organizational structure, vocabulary, and sentence structure. This book can also be downloaded at www.lulu.com to make it easier for teachers to make transparency copies from the downloaded pages. Downloading the book also allows you to present the transparencies via multi media projector if you have one in your classroom.
