Writing - In which order would you do these?


Recommended Posts

My dd15 will be finishing up Bravewriter's Help for High School around May. I have several books to use after but I am unsure what would be the best order to go t hough them.

 

Elements of Style

On Writing Well

The Lively Art of Writing

Writing with a Thesis

 

Thoughts?

I would break those down into two categories:  readings about writing/style, and essay-writing instructions.  The first two are in the first category, the second two are in the second.  You can absolutely do them concurrently, or alternating.

 

For concurrent, I'd do LAoW + Elements of Style followed by WWaT + On Writing Well.

 

For alternating:

LAoW

Elements of Style

WWaT

On Writing Well

 

I like and have used all four of these, so my 2 cents is worth that much, at least.  :)
