Writing Strands: Level 4, Grade 8This group of assignments is designed to give homeschooled fourth-level students a grounding in the very complicated process of giving others their thoughts in written form. This level is designed for students who, in public school, would be considered ready for eighth grade. The writing exercises in this level are in four categories: basic, creation, organization, and descriptive. The assignments in each of these areas will guide you in the development of the skills you will need to be able to feel good about your ability to write. Rather than increase the work for the instructor, this writing process should make it easier for both the instructor and the students to meet the increasing demands for more student writing. Paperback, 99 pages. Note: Choose either Writing Strands, listed here or Easy Grammar listed below.
