From the Publisher: Writing With Skill combines time-tested classical techniques–the imitation and analysis of great writers–with innovative contemporary insights. Models from great literature provide the student with inspiration, while step-by-step instructions explicitly teach the skills that other writing programs merely assign without explanation. Original writing assignments in history, science, biography and literature expand the student’s intellectual horizons.
