Jump In Set 2nd Ed

Easy, bite-sized lessons guide your student through the complexities of writing essays and the finer points of writing.

Students will learn nine types of essays, a research report, story writing, poetry, and more in 98 daily lessons. They’ll practice topic sentences, a main idea (thesis statement), in-text citations, and other essential building blocks of composition. The text is incremental, the tone is light with a sprinkling of humor, and the assignments are very achievable.

What's new in the 2nd Edition?

• Students get more practice writing paragraphs before they delve into essays. Lessons on writing paragraphs, using a handy paragraph chart, and practicing different types of paragraphs have been added.
• Students will also learn two solid methods for compare-and-contrast writing. Younger students will write a compare-and-contrast paragraph using a Venn diagram. Experiences writers will write a compare-and-contrast essay using a chart of features.
• A lesson on how to write a personal narrative has been added.
• Each essay assignment now comes with a suggested writing schedule and a specific checklist to help students proofread their work. Students are also guided through the process of proofreading with practical lessons, checklists, and a Mistake Medic.

This set includes:

• One student workbook
• One teacher's guide, which includes:
  
  • practical, specialized grading grids
  • 10-Minute Writing Plunges, and
  • a very practical guide called “How to Earn an A,” “How to Earn a B,” and so forth. The examples there are from real papers by real students and explain exactly why the papers earned those grades.
