Paragraph System for Successful Writing by Caulean Vesey

For Junior and Senior High School Students

A comprehensive reading-based approach to composition, the book covers narrative, persuasive, descriptive, and expository paragraphs; the essay, letter writing; the character sketch; short reports; the anecdote; and dialog writing. It highlights using comparisons, contrasts, cause and effect, problem and solution, sequencing and par-allel development. Writing for the content areas of English, Social Studies and Science is addressed. Included are sections on “How To Use the Reader’s Guide To Periodical Literature,” and “How To Write A Bibliography.”

Note taking, an integral part of the System, is essential for keeping an accurate account of details. It makes the reader “active” in controlling memory and comprehension. The writing task further forces the student to be “active,” to stop and behold the word, its spelling, meaning, and implications. This is a teacher’s treasure.

The Paragraph System For Successful Writing provides:

• An action system to teach writing
• Twenty different models
• Visual plans and frames
• A system that works with gifted, average and slow students
