But the big city has all sorts ofsurprises in store for Rose, and she finds that she's destined to travel a road she never even imagined.

"Grammar to Enrich and Enhance Writing "is Connie Weaver's latest treasure for grammar instruction that strengthens writing.

Her explicit, classroom-proven teaching ideas, strategies, and lessons address key subjects as diverse as helping students make better stylistic use of modifiers, incorporating grammar into revision, and mapping grammar instruction to the curriculum. Mostly in part three, she invites members of the field into a discussion of high-quality grammar instruction.
