Synopsis

"Contemporary's Breakthroughs in Writing and Language is designed to help students develop a firm basis in writing and language skills. Both the process of writing and conventions of English are covered. In particular, there are three features to note:

- The ""Journal Writing"" feature provides students with a variety of ideas for writing in their journals. Its main purpose is to help students start to feel comfortable as writers. In this section only, grammar and spelling are not emphasized.

- ""Putting Your Skills to Work,"" a highly structured writing activity, appears following language skills exercises. The writing focuses on the grammar point that was just taught. This feature helps students to understand grammar in the context of their own writing.

- Somewhat less structured than ""Putting Your Skills to Work,"" ""Your Turn to Write"" gives students a choice of topics and some suggestions about how to approach the topic. ""Your Turn to Write"" is followed by a checklist of a few of the major grammar and usage points in the chapter. The checklist guides students in editing their own writing."
