Touchstones with Access Code : A Guided Approach to Writing Paragraphs and Essays
Overview
Using methods he developed through grant-funded research, award-winning instructor Chris Juzwiak has documented a 15% increase in basic writers' success rates on his campus. These methods serve as the foundation for "Touchstones," a paragraph-to-essay level book that begins with a focus on academic paragraphs and essays, then moves to higher-level skills such as using precise language and working with sources. Like "Stepping Stones," Juzwiak's book for the sentence-to-paragraph level, "Touchstones "includes scaffolded exercises and instruction, color-coded parts of speech, and creative activities that keep students engaged. By moving progressively from simple to more complex skills in each part of the book -- and in each chapter -- "Touchstones "ensures that all students feel confident in what they're learning and empowered to continue.
