Customer Reviews
After just a few weeks of using Jensen’s this past fall, he told me he liked that this book gave him a "format" to use when writing. He enjoyed the formula that was given to brainstorm and then compose his writing each week. We didn’t follow the schedule in the front of the book - it’s great, I just wanted to make it fit us so beginning at Lesson 2 he did the following each week:
Monday: He would read the lesson (it describes a specific type of paragraph or essay) and then he would choose a topic for the week’s writing assignment.
Tuesday: He would brainstorm his ideas about his chosen topic on a piece of paper following the format given from the reading he had done on Monday.
Wednesday: He would write (type) his rough draft using the brainstorm organization from Tuesday.
Thursday: He would "share" his rough draft with me through his Google Docs account. I would then "edit" or make "suggestions" for him within the document.
Friday: He would fix any problems from Thursday’s suggestions and then print a copy for his writing binder.
It worked so well for him and I saw a lot of growth in his writing this past year. He wrote each type of paragraph and essay twice before moving on to the next one.
We chose not to purchase the DVD to use, so I cannot review it. The book alone has worked well so we will continue using only it this coming year for part of his English 10 credit.
