The Teacher's Edition provides easy instructions to teach grammar for understanding and to guide the teaching of writing using the Writing Process. Students plan, draft, revise, proofread, and publish eight different types of writing: compare-contrast essay, persuasive business letter, personal narrative, book review, imaginative instructions, poetry, dramatic play, and research report. Rubrics are provided to help the teacher evaluate each type of writing. The Teacher's Edition contains reduced student pages and Extra Practice pages (with answers) as well as Keeping Up transparency masters (with answers) to quickly review grammar during the writing chapters.
