Teaching Writing Skills, Book 2, textbook

Teaching Writing, Book 2, includes lessons to teach students to write a drama, biography, autobiography, essay, exposition, anecdote, comedy, farce, parody, pun, diary, journal, tragedy, news article, dialects, dialogue, monologue, flashback, allusion, ballad, sonnet, limerick, haiku, epigram, blank and free verse, narrative and lyric poems, concrete poem, synecdoche, metonymy, transferred epithet, symbol, allegory, paradox, analogy, aphorism, elegy, epigram, folklore, idyll, and oratory. It also includes directives for teaching students to write from a first- and a third-person point of view, how to use over- and understatement, irony and satire in their writing, and how to write and rewrite to change the distance
in time between an incident and the speaker.
If the process and skill of writing is taught from the beginning of a child’s school experience, and if the child is given daily writing activities, writing becomes as natural to the child as reading. A model is provided for students to follow as they are taught each skill.
