"Writing Power is a new, interactive four-level series designed to help students develop the writing fluency and language skills they need for successful written communication in today's social, academic, and professional contexts. Writing Power 3 features four distinct parts that concentrate on important aspects of intermediate to upper-intermediate writing proficiency, allowing teachers to target students' greatest needs and teach practical skills for writing in many different situations Writing Fluency builds skills and confidence for effective, fluent written expression in English through journaling, blogging, and creative writing. Exercises give students opportunities to write about topics they are interested in and practice writing for communication both on and offline Language Use teaches essential strategies for active vocabulary learning as well as language for connecting ideas in writing. Students learn how to combine and expand sentences, to move between different verb tenses, and to express themselves effectively and accurately in writing. Academic Writing guides students through the academic writing process, from brainstorming and gathering ideas, to working with research sources, to drafting, revising, and proofreading an academic essay. Social and Professional Writing covers the world of work and business. Exercises focus on useful knowledge and skills for written communication in a variety of real-life contexts, such as writing reviews, business letters, and college application essays.
