Like other titles in this exciting series, this book uses clear language, text examples, and graphic organizers to help young writers explore several different types of personal writing. Suggested exercises help students find their authors' voice and gather ideas as they decide which type of personal writing is most expressive to them. Traditional writing techniques are offered along with suggestions on how to deconstruct writing and reorganize it by changing the chronology of the story, stretching the moment of climax, or using literary devices to build interest.

This guide to descriptive writing helps students discover their inner voice and then translate their discoveries into an effectively written piece. Students are encouraged to gather and organize their ideas by using a variety of methods and to improve bland writing by using figurative language, adjectives, adverbs, synonyms, and antonyms. Language basics, such as how to improve sentence and paragraph structure; how to make verbs, pronouns, and tenses agree; and how to vary sentence styles are discussed. Finally, students learn how to proofread and edit their work before making a final presentation.
