Now the Killgallons present a much anticipated sentence-composing grammar worktext for college writing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGRAMMAR FOR COLLEGE WRITING: A Sentence-Composing Approach presents a new and easier way to understand grammar: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eNOUN GROUP: The Naming Tools \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVERB GROUP: The Narrating Tools \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eADJECTIVE GROUP: The Describing Tools \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eADVERB GROUP: The Explaining Tools\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWithin each group, using model sentences by authors, students learn and practice words, phrases, and clauses that share the group's function. The Killgallons' accessible approach develops students' use of twenty-one grammatical tools to build sentences like those of recognizable authors. All tools are practiced through the Killgallons' signature methods: matching, unscrambling, combining, imitating, exchanging, expanding. Each tool is introduced with a clear definition and characteristics; practiced through six varied sentence-composing activities; then applied in an academic or creative composition that spotlights the tool.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStudents learn from model sentences chosen for two reasons: their grammatical structure (the sentence in the story) and their interesting content (the story in the sentence). GRAMMAR FOR COLLEGE WRITING gives students the chance to absorb and replicate the grammatical tools used by John Steinbeck, J. K. Rowling, Ernest Hemingway, Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou, Truman Capote, Stephen King, and hundreds more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis worktext works beyond preparing first-year college students for college writing.
