Jensen's Grammar -- WHAT JOHN SAXON DID FOR MATH, FRODE JENSEN DOES FOR GRAMMAR! You get everything needed: lessons, exercises, tests, answers, and teaching helps. Your students get handy, reproducible charts for easy use. You get the right to duplicate tests for multiple student use. Your students get constant review using spaced repetition techniques. You get over 25 years of teacher experience and expertise at your fingertips. This book has many things going for it. The lessons are simple and direct. The exercises constantly repeat what has been formerly taught. New ideas are approached incrementally in digestible form. The nature of the exercises force the students to use what they have learned. In particular this is true with the formula sentences the students are required to produce almost immediately. This book is different. Yes, it is a lot of work, but there is no such thing as a free lunch in learning how to write. The total focus in this book is on the sentence. Grammar is a means, not an end. All the grammar that is taught in this book is designed to help the student be better able to create sentences with confidence and variety of structure. Punctuation necessary for the given structures is taught concurrently with structure itself. These methods were developed in the classroom over a number of years and have been thoroughly tested with great success. Includes text, tests, and answer key. Grades 7 and up.

Jensen's Format Writing -- From the author: "This book contains a number of ideas that I had to learn the hard way. In college I developed a number of defensive techniques to simplify my work so that I could get it all done. Working four jobs and carrying 15-18 units per semester did not leave much time for studying. I had to have methods that saved time but still got the job done. Some of those ideas are in this book, modified over 25 years of teaching experience. You can learn them the easy way, by having them told to you and practicing them instead of having to work it all out by yourself. This book is good for about two years of instruction. Having taught these methods to a number of students over the years, I can say emphatically that the methods work, and the students became better writers. The presentation is clear and straightforward. There are examples of every format as well as some practice exercises for certain techniques. The seven sentence outline is easy to learn and use and will fit many occasions, even for adults. Those who go on to college will be able to literally cut their work in half on their writing assignments. In fact, many of my former students actually earned money in college by putting these techniques to work by ghost writing papers for other students. This book is a must if you want to improve your writing. Concepts include: How to write good paragraphs How to do 5 paragraph essays How to organize major papers The seven sentence outline The principle of condensation Secrets of the thesis statement How to introduce a topic How to conclude a topic Seven practical formats Clear & simple instructions Learnable procedures Instructive examples Analytical grading keys How to use notecards How to organize your writing Applications for appendices The use of in-text citations & end notes All about point of view, tense, & transitions How to answer essay test questions 3 book report forms A new yet proven resume format 4 business letter formats How sentences string together and even more...
