Learn not only the rules of grammar, but also the logic and reason behind these rules. Grammar for Writing goes beyond the traditional prescriptive methods to make sure your students haven t just learned the rule in a vacuum; they ve developed a deep understanding of why these rules are important and how language works. Most grammar books assume that students will somehow automatically apply whatever grammatical, punctuation, and usage rules they learn to their writing. But when the rule is learned and practiced in isolation, the student never really sees the connection between the exercise in the book and his or her own writing. Grammar for Writing deals only with those conventions your students need to know to strengthen their writing. The explanations and exercises are geared toward the application of the convention in writing, not just applying a rule out of context. This is not an abstract book on the theory of grammar, but a ready-to-use, hands-on handbook full of activities and instruction that will make your students writing error-free in no time. This book is a classroom student edition.
