    About this ebook

    Often students are lacking knowledge in how to write an academic paper. Some are interested in writing, but don't know how to get started or know proper format, and others don’t really like writing, but need to learn how to write a proper essay in order to get through college. This teaching textbook teaches one to write from the beginning to the end, and contains everything you need for a lesson planner to teach your students how to write anything. This book contains everything you need to teach a composition course successfully. From grammar review to commonly misused words, to how to write different styles of essays. You may even find that this will be a good refresher for your own writing as well.

    Great for the teacher as well as the student.

    Valerie Hockert has taught composition for over 20 years at a college level, has many published works, and has a PhD in Literary Studies.

      Often I find that students are lacking knowledge in how to write an academic paper. Some are interested in writing, but don't know how to get started or know proper format, and others don’t really like writing, but need to learn how to write a proper essay in order to get through college.
