This fifth edition features the contributions of a new co-author, Paige Wilson, as well as many new and updated exercises. Wilson has helped to add, revise and update exercises and to clarify instructions throughout the text. Exercise sets involving new scenarios give students the opportunity to develop their sentence variety in a creative context. Space for student-generated sentences allows students to create their own thoughts and build essay-writing skills. Sentence-joining and sentence-modifying activities teach students to produce specific, concise, fluent sentences. Some exercises within each unit use a narrative approach to show students how individual sentences operate in a larger context. Review exercises at the ends of key units ask students to illustrate what they've learned so far using multiple sentence-combining skills. The exercises are grouped around a factual topic and guide students through a sequence of sentence-combining prompts that illustrate logical relationships between sentences.
