This is a series that prepares students for paragraph and composition writing, while making the process enjoyable. Writing from Within, Level 2 focuses on generating topics, writing cohesive paragraphs, and organizing them into clear, logical compositions. The book contains twelve units, each one centering around a final writing assignment. As students prepare for their assignment, they brainstorm ideas for writing and analyze sample paragraphs and compositions for both language and organization. The units offer a balance of introspective writing assignments with more conventional, task-based ones. Level 2 writing topics include a major life event, personal goals, a research report, and a newspaper articles.

"The first level of this two-level writing text draws on students' world knowledge, beliefs, and perceptions to teach organization and other aspects of the writing process. Every unit in the Student's Book contains brainstorming activities, analysis of models, activities focusing on organization, and pre-writing, writing, and post-writing activities. This book is designed to be suitable for large as well as small classes. It has 12 units with self-contained one- or two-page lessons, as well as self-contained activities that do not require completion of all previous ones - an advantage in a class where students attend irregularly. There are activities to elicit both oral and written feedback from peers, and optional real-world expansion activities, giving learners the opportunity to communicate with English speakers outside of class."--PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION.
