His first three chapters ("Developing Writing Skills"; "Expository Paragraph" and "Constructing a Paper") contain pointed lessons, annotated student writing samples and assignments for practice. Chapter Four concentrates on teaching grammar within the wirintg process. The foreword includes a ten-week lesson planning sequence for grammar infusion.
