Product Description:


The Blueprints academic writing series offers a unique combination of instruction in the rhetorical processes, while focusing on paraphrasing, summarizing, and synthesizing. This dual focus helps students develop good writing habits and avoid the pitfalls of plagiarism. Students receive ample opportunities to write at the sentence, paragraph, and essay levels; and Additional Writing Assignments from Academic Disciplines allows them to practice their new skills on the types of writing tasks they will face outside the ESL classroom.

  • Engaging readings on academic topics, ranging from DNA testing and computer programs to literary analysis, tea ceremonies, and marketing health and fitness, increase students' comprehension and familiarize them with writing in an academic setting.
  • A two-part chapter approach offers writing instruction in Part A and writing practice in Part B.
  • Grammar reinforcement throughout both texts and appendices help students better understand the link between writing and correct grammar.
  • A complementary web site offers accompanying exercises to reinforce the writing practice, mechanics, and grammar covered in the texts.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - grammar for ESL
The workbook is good but the format is a little bit jumbled. Lists should be in the appendix and cross referenced
