Cambridge Grammar and Writing Skills Learner's Book 8

Description

Introduce your learners to creative writing and writing for a purpose. They'll rewrite a well-known myth and draft an application letter, helping build their extended writing skills as they progress through the units. Each unit focuses on a different text type such as dialogue, reports or instructions. Model texts in each chapter show learners good examples of each writing type and specific activities help them practise grammar typical of the genre. Learners work individually and collaboratively, developing skills such as creative thinking, planning, drafting, peer evaluation and editing. Review: Interesting, Innovative and Intriguing - The book is very well designed with guided writing tips, vocabulary and grammar as per the topic. A very well designed and interesting composition book with handy grammar understanding. The paper quality and photography is extremely good, glossy and good quality paper. Enough variation of chapters, but if looking for complete foreign context matter,may be little disappointed, though the Indian context matter in it is also good. Since was looking for UK National Curriculum reference, found topics in Indian context but very well guided so it is hardly an issue. Overall a very good reference guide for writing practice, but felt extremely long writing topics, like essays are not incorporated. But, sufficient material for teaching writing to students. Review: Arrived on time, useful content - The exercises require a teacher to explain most parts for the age group. But it is generally well laid out content with good exercises to elicit student understanding. Smarter students would be able to use the book on their own.
