Building Blocks for Analytical Writing
Author(s): 
Lesha Myers
Help your students become confident essay writers as they delve into the details of the essay-writing process. From thesis statements to transitions, introductions, and conclusions, students will learn the building blocks of a well-crafted essay.
† Contains distinctly Christian content
 
The Elegant Essay walks students through the entire essay-building process.
 
The student book includes instruction, practice exercises, modeling, and grade sheets.
 
The teacher’s manual provides a sample schedule, grading helps, and lesson-by-lesson instructions for teaching the material as well as sample compositions and answers. After practicing the elements of an essay, students apply all they have learned by completing two essay assignments: a descriptive and a persuasive essay. With clear explanations and practice exercises, The Elegant Essay is an excellent extension and refinement of IEW Unit 8. Consumable.
