Full Description
The Writer's World addresses the diverse needs of your students by meeting the needs of nonnative English speakers, visual learners and students with varying skill levels! Now, The Writer's World addresses the diverse needs of instructors! Prentice Hall is proud to offer The Writer's World: Paragraphs and Essays in four individual volumes. Developed to provide maximum flexibility for both instructors and students, the volumes were created directly from the pages of The Writer's World: Paragraphs and Essays by Lynne Gaetz and Suneeti Phadke. Volume three, The Writer's World: Editing Handbook, is a thematic grammar handbook. In each chapter, the examples correspond to a section theme, such as The Workplace or Health Care. As students work through the chapters, they hone their grammar and editing skills while gaining knowledge about a variety of topics. In addition to helping retain interest in grammar practices, the thematic material provides a spark that ignites new ideas that students can apply to their own writing.
