Now the Killgallons present a much anticipated sentence-composing grammar worktext for college writing. GRAMMAR FOR COLLEGE WRITING: A Sentence-Composing Approach presents a new and easier way to understand grammar: NOUN GROUP: The Naming Tools VERB GROUP: The Narrating Tools ADJECTIVE GROUP: The Describing Tools ADVERB GROUP: The Explaining Tools Within each group  using model sentences by authors  students learn and practice words  phrases  and clauses that share the groups function. The Killgallons accessible approach develops students use of twenty-one grammatical tools to build sentences like those of recognizable authors. All tools are practiced through the Killgallons signature methods: matching  unscrambling  combining  imitating  exchanging  expanding. Each tool is introduced with a clear definition and characteristics; practiced through six varied sentence-composing activities; then applied in an academic or creative composition that spotlights the tool. Students learn from model sentences chosen for two reasons: their grammatical structure (the sentence in the story) and their interesting content (the story in the sentence). GRAMMAR FOR COLLEGE WRITING gives students the chance to absorb and replicate the grammatical tools used by John Steinbeck  J. K. Rowling  Ernest Hemingway  Toni Morrison  Maya Angelou  Truman Capote  Stephen King  and hundreds more. This worktext works beyond preparing first-year college students for college writing.
