Writing With Skill Level 3, Student Workbook

Building on the skills taught in Levels 1 and 2, the Level 3 workbook is written directly to the students to encourage them to take the initiative in developing their writing skills. It combines time-tested classical techniques with innovative contemporary insights to give every student the necessary tools to write with clarity and confidence, and provides essential training in organization, composition structure, and research methods. There is extensive practice in planning and carrying out independent projects, so that students are prepared for higher-level writing. Instructor text required, but all source material for assignments is included; no other books are needed.

Skills taught in Level 3 include four-level outlining; narration by significance; explanation by cause and effect in science and history; analysis and review; literary criticism; classical essay writing; and composing internet comments with both clarity and grace. (The last one isn’t true; some things are beyond our control).
