Review
"I really like this approach. In fact, I could swear that you had a copy of my syllabus outline!"
"The table of contents is very strategically and effectively designed in an order that will focus on writing early in the course, which is significant.""The "Read All About It" feature is a very effective strategy. It is valuable for students to see examples drawn from real writing. Students can identify with the "real world" and express themselves more freely about experiences with which they can identify."
