Customer Review(s)
Customer Rating: Summary: Voice Lessons Comment: I must admit that I was reticent to purchase this item because most books designed to help students become better writers have unnecessary or unusable activities. _Voice Lessons_, however, is different: organized by technique (diction, imagery, detail, etc.), each lesson begins with a passage from prose or poetry, moves into analytical questions, and finishes with applied practice. From there, it's easier for students to incorporate these techniques in their writing.
I teach grades 10-12 (including AP Language), and _Voice Lessons_ has helped all students in these grade levels improve their writing. They seemed to enjoy the activities as well.
