The Expository Writing
Handbook
How to Write an Expository Composition
by Dr. Les Simonson
This handbook provides a carefully
structured plan for writing expository compositions. Specifically, the
manual simplifies the writing of expository compositions by dividing the
writing process into three steps. Step 1 involves the use of key words
and short phrases. Step 2 follows with sentences and paragraphs. The
Step 3 proceeds to the final draft. In order to further assist students
with their writing, key composition concepts are clearly identified in
Steps 1 and 2 in an outline format. The handbook provides complete models
for all three steps described above.

The Essay Handbook
How to Write an Essay
by Dr. Les Simonson
A unique feature of this handbook is that
it divides the writing of an essay into four clearly defined steps.
Simply put, Step 1 only requires the student to write key words and
phrases. Step 2 involves converting the words and phrases into sentences
and simple paragraphs. Step 3, the rough draft format, changes the
information from an outline format in Step 2 to a somewhat more
traditional appearance. Finally, Step 4 combines all the information from
Step 3 into a final draft format. Also included in the handbook is a
complete "eleven sentence essay" model. The "Eleven Sentence Essay" is
designed to give both the student and instructor an easy-to-understand
example of the essay parts and how they fit together in a regular length
essay.

The Win Twin
A Simplified English Handbook for Student Writers
by Dr. Les Simonson
The Win Twin is a simplified English
reference handbook in which the answers to student questions about
capitalization, punctuation, spelling, and sentence structure can be found
easily and applied quickly. Moreover, based on the author's observations
of student writers over a period of many years, the information contained
in this book is that which students need most frequently. Furthermore,
the rules are written in a clear and easy-to-follow format. Also, endless
lists of verb tenses, seldom-used terms, and unnecessary explanations of
technical concepts are not included in the Win Twin. Such an
arrangement allows students to more quickly pinpoint the answers they
seek, and therefore, return promptly to writing their papers. Simply
stated, the orderly, uncluttered design of this handbook enables students
to avoid time-consuming searches in the use of the book, but, instead,
spend the majority of their time and attention focused on their writing.

Trials and
Triumphs
The Unsung
Heroes of the Great Depression and World War II
by Dr. Les
Simonson
You
think your life is tough? For millions of families, survival
during the Great Depression was day-to-day. Truck drivers, if they
could find work, might earn fifty cents an hour. Some coal miners
were paid only a dollar a day, and barbers often earned only twenty-five
cents for a haircut. Women did domestic work (if they could find
it) for twenty cents an hour and clerked in stores for about fifteen
dollars a week. Earnings for kids in a variety of jobs could be
measured in pennies per hour. In those times not even a "lost"
penny was left lying on a sidewalk.
With the outbreak of World War II, millions of younger men and older
teenage boys, whose early lives had endured the Great Depression, then
filled the ranks of our armed forces. Thousands of young women
also volunteered for military service. Meanwhile, jobs left vacant
by those serving in the military were filled by men, women, teenagers,
and younger children serving on the home front. Yet, the primary concern
of those still in civilian life was no longer about finding work, but
instead worrying about the safety of their loved ones fighting in the
war and their returning home to a life of peace and fulfillment of
dreams long delayed.
The late
Dr. Les Simonson, author of the WIN Writing Program, wrote this as a
semi auto-biography of his life. It's a great look back to an
earlier America and the struggles our grandparents and
great-grandparents went through. We highly recommend this book as
a companion to your child's history studies, and you might just enjoy it
yourself!
