Alignment to Writer’s Choice
Glencoe’s Writer’s Choice is a complete, stand-alone grammar and
composition program that can be used to support the selection writing
activities, Grammar Workshops, and Writing Workshops in Glencoe
Literature.
In Glencoe Literature, selections include concise Writing prompts that
focus on brief, manageable products, extended Write with Style activities
that apply literary elements, and full-page Respond Through Writing
assignments that cover each step of the writing process. Grammar
Workshops show students common problems and clear solutions, and
Writing Workshops at the end of each unit walk students through the
writing process in detail.
In Writer’s Choice, Composition lessons feature models and rubrics;
Grammar, Usage, and Mechanics lessons show how to apply rules; and
Resources and Skills lessons improve students’ study skills, media literacy,
and oral communication skills. In addition, the reference section includes a
Writing and Research Handbook.
The correlation charts in this section of the Road Map show how these two
programs coordinate and indicate which Writer’s Choice lessons provide
additional instruction, scaffolding, and practice for specific grammar and
writing activities in Glencoe Literature.
