This second book, for grades 9 and 10, provides a complete grammar course, with structures arranged by function, not form. More complex issues of agreement, usage, pronoun case, and stylistic punctuation grow naturally out of the earlier lessons, helping the student develop a mature and personal voice. In addition, suggested sentence patterns with blanks for selected words inspire students to use variety and creativity, and an "Idea Bank," filled with hundreds of phrases and clauses, leads to lively writing assignments.
