Review

"I think Chapter 8 is the most useful chapter in WA. I use both the "bad" and "good" examples of an essay to help my students understand what's required of their own work. My students are not acquainted with writing anything other than a "report," so examples of writings that offer an extended analysis of ideas are crucial."
