The final level in a groundbreaking writing series that prepares students for high-level rhetoric and composition.

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 assighments in history, science, biography and literature expand the student's intellectual horizons.
