The Power in Your Hands Set

With The Power in Your Hands: Writing Nonfiction in High School, 2nd Edition, your teens learn writing in a relaxed atmosphere with some humor thrown in. They’ll conquer what they need to know for high school and will be prepared for college and professional writing.

First, they’ll learn to write persuasively, learning persuasive strategies they will have to identify and write about in the new SAT essay. Later, they’ll navigate a comparison-and-contrast essay, a biography, a literary analysis, a research paper with MLA documentation, and much, much more. In addition, students will master description and narration essays.

Written by the same author who wrote Jump In, a middle school composition course, The Power in Your Hands is the natural next step for those who value college-preparatory material presented in incremental steps with a conversational tone.

With over 100 daily lessons and complete instructions for 21 essays and reports, this is an engaging course students will enjoy–or at least not dread. And, more good news: the course is self-guided. No prerequisites needed. 

This set includes:

• One Student Textbook
• One Teacher's Guide, which includes:
  • easy-to-use grading grids specific to each essay
  • answers to all the daily lessons, along with many student and professional essays from the textbook so you know what your students are reading, and
  • 14-Minute Power Surges, a fun program of daily writing prompts.

Please note there is some Christian content in this program.
