Crafting Expository Argument (4/e)

A text with one primary focus -- teaching universal writing skills -- Crafting Expository Argument is replete with student-written composition models, annotated to demonstrate specific writing techniques. Not only is it the best text of its kind for clearly showing teachers how to weave the teaching of grammar into the writing process, it also provides numerous examples of basic problems in writing encountered by student-writers (weak transitions, details off-topic, organization of evidence, wordiness, poorly-blended textual support, etc.) and demonstrates in each case how to fix them.

introductions and thoughtful conclusions
