The How to Write an Awesome Paragraph Step-by-Step workbook teaches your students how to write a strong paragraph using a foolproof step-by-step process. Each incremental lesson teaches one step and contains practice examples to build skill and confidence. Students learn: The parts of a paragraph How to write a strong topic sentence How to write relevant details that connect to the topic sentence How to write a meaningful closing sentence For each step, students learn the basic process and then are taught how to "upgrade" the element to be even stronger. For topic sentences, students learn to upgrade by: Adding a question Introducing a comparison Stating an interesting fact Setting the scene with a description Grabbing attention with shock/excitement Similar clearly explained upgrades are taught for relevant details and closing sentences. Being able to write a strong paragraph is important for all students. Students without strong paragraph skills will especially struggle when it comes to essays or other longer writing tasks. This book is designed to help all late-elementary to high school students, but it is particularly useful for struggling or special needs students who will welcome the explicit steps which they can re-use each time they need to write a paragraph. The visual supports and incremental practice also build confidence in a wide range of students. Grab this book and help your learner become a confident writer!

Download or read book The Bonfire of the Vanities written by Tom Wolfe and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2002-02-21 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vintage Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Vanities, the #1 bestseller that will forever define late-twentieth-century New York style. "No one has portrayed New York Society this accurately and devastatingly since Edith Wharton" (The National Review) “A page-turner . . . Brilliant high comedy.” (The New Republic) Sherman McCoy, the central figure of Tom Wolfe's first novel, is a young investment banker with a fourteen-room apartment in Manhattan. When he is involved in a freak accident in the Bronx, prosecutors, politicians, the press, the police, the clergy, and assorted hustlers high and low close in on him, licking their chops and giving us a gargantuan helping of the human comedy, of New York in the 1980s, a city boiling over with racial and ethnic hostilities and burning with the itch to Grab It Now. Wolfe's novel is a big, panoramic story of the metropolis that reinforces the author's reputation as the foremost chronicler of the way we live in America. Adapted to film in 1990 by director Brian De Palma, the movie stars Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis, Melanie Griffith, and Morgan Freeman.
