This interactive workbook teaches elementary school students how to write a report. From gathering information, through organizing thoughts and ideas, and to the final product, students will learn the skills necessary to complete assigned writing tasks. Students learn in three ways: watch a video, read the chapter text, and complete exercises to test knowledge and comprehension. Topics covered include:
• Gathering information for the essay, book review, research paper, and persuasive letter or essay
• Pre-writing: getting your ideas on paper or in the computer
• Reviewing sentence structure and building paragraphs
• How to write the five-paragraph essay
• Organize your writing
o Compare and contrast
o By category
o By importance
o By location
o By conflicts leading to the climactic event in fictional books and stories
• Overview of the creative writing and essential parts of the story
Whether students learn in a traditional or homeschool setting, they will benefit from this workbook that breaks writing into manageable, relatable steps. The three-pronged approach in this workbook -- video, text, and practice exercises -- helps children learn through seeing and hearing, reading, and practicing.
