3_High School 
1 Writing 
Skills
Persuasive 
Essay
Students are taken through the steps needed to write a 
persuasive essay. They receive guidance at each stage—
from selecting a topic through polishing and 
proofreading.
Polishing 
Prose
These files address basic mechanics, grammar, usage, 
and stylistic issues that will guide students as they polish 
their prose. Jack London’s story “To Build a Fire” 
provides models and examples.
Sentence 
Combining 
with 
American 
Classics
Students read passages from several American writers of 
the mid-nineteenth century to focus on the passages’ 
sentence styles. Students try their hand at a number of 
different interactions with the text—from rewriting and 
combining underlying skinny sentences to imitating the 
author’s style—all the while practicing the art of 
sentence construction. Learning to write a variety of 
sentence types is what sentence combining is all about, 
and writing with a word processor (such as an 
AlphaSmart device) is a natural fit with this editing 
approach to learning. Word processing features allow 
students to manipulate sentences freely and to see all 
the changes they make as they make them.
2 The 
Process of 
Writing
Character 
Sketch II
Activities in Character Sketch II give students practice in 
six strategies used in writing to develop a character: 
description, setting, dialogue, interaction, action, and 
narrative. Files are arranged to give students practice in 
recognizing and imitating techniques in the order shown 
above. One or more techniques for study and imitation 
can appear in any one lesson. Students are encouraged 
to use a variety of techniques in their own writing. All 
files can be used by students working individually, in 
pairs, or in cooperative groups.
Character 
Sketch III
What is basic to writing a character sketch? Students are 
shown through modeling what these basic elements are, 
and how to bring them together to reveal a character of 
their own making, using appropriate evidence and 
specific language.
