"""Sentence composing provides acrobatic training in sentence dexterity...using literature as a writing school with a faculty of professional writers who virtually teach students to build better sentences.""

--Don and Jenny Killgallon

Getting Started with High School Sentence Composing introduces the powerful sentence-composing approach. Using real sentences by authors as models, it provides practice with five sentence parts, or tools, that research shows skilled writers use to create high-quality, variety-packed writing:

Extenders to enlarge meaning within a sentence Identifiers to identify someone or something

Describers to describe someone or something

Elaborators to add details for full understanding

Combos to combine tools within a sentence

Along the way, Don and Jenny Killgallon provide help for students, including:

Basic sentence ideas--Activities to understand subjects, predicates, and their relationship to those five tools Broken sentences--Exercises to identify, avoid, and repair fragments

Vocabulary scaffolds--""Quickshots"" to include an immediate, clear definition in context for challenging words."
