With the original publication of his sentence composing series, Don Killgallon changed the way thousands of
high school English teachers and their students look at language, literature, and writing by focusing on the sentence.
In this expanded series, Killgallon presents the same proven methodology but offers all-new writing exercises for
middle school, high school, and college students.
Unlike traditional grammar books that emphasize sentence analysis, these worktexts asks students to imitate the
sentence styles of professional writers, making the sentence composing process enjoyable and challenging. Killgallon
teaches subliminally, nontechnically--the ways real writers compose their sentences, the ways students subsequently
intuit within their own writing.
Designed to produce sentence maturity and variety, the worktexts offer extensive practice in four sentence-manipulating
techniques: sentence unscrambling, sentence imitating, sentence combining, and sentence expanding. It's demonstrably
true that Sentence Composing can work anywhere--in any school, with any student.
