Writing from Within, Level 1 focuses on paragraph writing. The book contains twelve units, each one centering around a final writing assignment. As students prepare for their assignment, they brainstorm ideas for writing and analyze sample paragraphs for both language and organization. While most units involve students writing one or two well-organized paragraphs for the final assignment, also included are units that have students prepare less formal types of writing, such as composing an email, writing a thank-you note, writing a simple movie review, and writing an invitation.
