Its functional approach provides a new and welcome perspective to the student who has not yet mastered sentence and paragraph writing; Writing Workshop is composed of ten chapters that teach such functions as generalizing, talking about difference, enumerating, defining, describing, and expressing cause and result. Each chapter is divided into three parts - Sentences, Paragraphs, and Exam-type Questions - all of which integrate instruction with practice; In the first section, students are led through intensive sentence structure practice using the specific discourse markers presented in that unit. A piece of writing - such as a letter, memo or magazine excerpt - is presented and examined in the second section. The analysis here focuses on topic sentences, supporting facts, concluding sentences, discourse markers, audience and purpose. The final section teaches students how to apply the organizational pattern presented in the unit to essay-type examination questions."
