Pathways for Writing Scenarios, a full color, sentence-to-paragraph writing text, teaches effective writing through a practical and unique focus on ideas over rules. Fundamental sentence and paragraph writing skills are taught while engaging student interest, keeping the focus on ideas rather than on rules, and stressing the interconnection of grammar and the writing process. A handbook with exercises appears at the end of the text for more practice. Pathways for Writing Scenarios covers all the significant topics at this level--the basics of sentence and paragraph development, revision and editing strategies, effective use of grammar, punctuation, and mechanics, and basic essay-writing skills. The book also provides comprehensive and integrated coverage of the reading-writing connection (including a multicultural reader), instruction on methods of development, ESL Tips, paragraph-level editing exercises and collaborative activities, Internet activities, substantial online and ancillary support, and a four-color design.
