Grade 9 Up—Following in the footsteps of Chelsea's "How to Write About" series, these offerings combine Gale's "Opposing Viewpoints" articles with chapters on how to write a persuasive essay. In the first section, six previously published pieces, each followed by "analyze the essay" questions, debate various issues surrounding the book's theme. Iraq covers the current war and presents, for example, an interview with Vice President Dick Cheney and a piece by the International Committee of the Red Cross. Oil offers various perspectives on alternatives to the fuel. The second part of each book presents model essays that are broken down into paragraphs and then highlighted to call attention to theses, topic sentences, supporting details, and other aspects of well-constructed papers. Exercises are also included to get students into the habit of writing outlines, etc. The last section is devoted to finding and using supporting materials and briefly explaining MLA citation. The audience may have been better served by having the "how to" material first, with the published material as examples. However, the books will help those students who need organization and ideas, as well as present them with some handy research material.—Carol Fazioli, Gwynedd-Mercy College, Gwynedd Valley, PA
