Writing With Skill Level 3, Instructor Text

Building on the skills taught in Levels 1 and 2, the Level 3 workbook is written directly to the students to encourage them to take the initiative in developing their basic writing skills. It combines time-tested classical techniques with innovative contemporary insights to give every student the necessary tools to write with clarity and confidence, and provides essential training in organization, composition structure, and research methods. Straightforward, detailed explanations of how to construct and organize compositions prepare students for high-level rhetoric and composition. Instructor text required, but all source material for assignments is included; no other books are needed.

Skills taught in Level 3 include one-, two-, and three-level outlining; writing chronological narratives, biographical sketches, scientific descriptions, sequences across the curriculum; constructing basic literary essays on fiction and poetry; researching and documenting source material; and convincing people on the internet that they are wrong. (The last one isn’t true; we don’t attempt the impossible.)
