Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Drawing from his well known methodology, Bill Strong presents a broader application of sentence combining as the basis for teaching writing with the WRITER'S TOOLBOX: A SENTENCE COMBINING WORKSHOP. This exciting new developmental writing text uses a writing process framework and stresses a collaborative approach, while providing students with skill instruction through extensive sentence combining activities. In short, the WRITER'S TOOLBOX is the only text at the developmental level to teach grammar, usage, and punctuation skills in the context of a conceptual framework - one that covers generating and planning, freewriting and drafting, shaping and revising, and editing and proofreading.

This is a good workbook for introducing sentence-combining into a high school English class. The very first half of the book uses sentence combining to introduce/review the writing process, offering students "invitations" to write based on the exercises. The exercises themselves are often topical, and the writing invitations generally ask students to write about themselves and their experiences. The second half of the book uses sentence combining to review grammar, including the parts of speech, usage, clauses and phrases, and punctuation.
My only criticism of the Toolbox is that it is perhaps too ambitious. By trying to be all things, I felt it does not provide enough depth, especially about the writing process (compared to, say, Writers Inc). Of course, if you wish to use it as a supplement to your classroom instruction, it is more than sufficient.
