 Academic
Writing
YG
offers online lessons
in Contructing
the Paragraph by
Elizabeth
Hanson-Smith. Teachers can bring their students to use materials;
independent students are welcome, too. Glenda Hanson has mounted the Constructing
the
Paragraph
exercises
at her
Website
also.
My
developmental writing students have
experienced repeated failures. Now I have to find a way to motivate
them to come to this class so that I can work with them....The format
and exercises make the writing process more manageable both for
teaching and learning. I am grateful. -- Patricia Brooks, Univ of
Houston (e-mail 12 April 2007)
