Summary: The Basics, A Rhetoric and Handbook
Review: The Basics is an easy to read and follow plan for teaching ESL essay writing. As an ESL teacher, I look for books that are suitable for students with varied language ability. This book offers a means for students to develop their writing skills through directed writing. The process begins with prewriting and works through several steps to get to the final product. The Basics also offers lessons on the most common language writing problems, such as articles, subject/verb agreement, plurals, and others. I recommend this book for ESL teachers and students looking for a comprehensive text for writers.
