520 | 3 | _a"SENTENCE-COMBINING WORKBOOK uses sentence-combining techniques to help students develop confidence in their writing at the sentence level. Each unit in this text focuses on a specific sentence-level technique followed by a set of sentence-combining exercises involving a narrative story or factual topic. This organization provides the practice students need to communicate their ideas in clear sentence structures. The fourth edition features a new Phrases and Clauses unit, as well as updated exercises. The innovative story-telling approach that SENTENCE-COMBINING WORKBOOK uses ensures that students practice viewing individual sentences as part of a larger context while developing their sentence expansion skills. Features: Exercise sets involving new scenarios give students the opportunity to develop their sentence expansion skills in a creative context; Space for more student-generated sentences was added to allow students to create their own thoughts and build essay writing skills; Sentence joining and sentence modifying activities teach students to produce specific, concise, fluent sentences; Exercises at the end of each unit use a story-telling approach to show students how individual sentences operate in a larger context; Review exercises are grouped around a factual topic and guide students through a sequence of sentence-combining prompts that illustrate logical relationships between sentences; A Final Review Unit at the end of the text asks students to illustrate what they have learned in advanced sentence-combining activities."
