 Writing Preparation and Practice 3 is a writing skills textbook designed for intermediate and high-intermediate students who are ready to advance beyond paragraph-level pieces. It is intended to build on the fundamentals of paragraph writing that students learned in Writing Preparation and Practice 1 and 2 and to give them the confidence they need to write longer pieces. Writing Preparation and Practice 3 is based on the premise that because different languages organize information differently, students need to be shown how to organize information in English if they are to write effectively in English. Students also need to understand that good writing is a network of complex skills that can be taught, practiced, and mastered. Features Presentation of the steps of the writing process: prewriting , writing , and revising and editing Guided practice in each stage of the paragraph writing process, including practice on writing thesis statements Model paragraphs and essays/peer-editing worksheets/Web-based exercises Editing practice in error correction and proofreading Additional individual practice in the skills that students have learned The Writing Preparation and Practice series also includes Writing Preparation and Practice 1 and Writing Preparation and Practice 2.
