Write to Know: The Art of Effective Paragraph Writing focuses equally on both the mechanics of effective paragraph construction as well as the creation of the kinds of high quality, interesting ideas that form the heart of great paragraphs and, eventually, great essays.

Lessons start with a step-by-step explanation of the critical components of paragraph construction—topic sentences, supporting sentences, and concluding sentences. It then transitions into writing lessons that teach how to write in a variety of styles, including comparative,narrative, descriptive, instructive and expository.

Each chapter includes clear, practical lessons, multiple activities for class or homework, two full-paragraph writing assignments, and two engaging reading activities that model the lesson of the chapter with the heart, wit, and charisma for which the series has become known.
