DownWRITE Funny teaches all kinds of good "stuff" about writing but in an unusual way - by appealing to young people's love of the ridiculous. The book leads students through a wide range of lessons and activities that will help them become better writers. Some of the subjects covered:


- avoiding sentence fragments
- avoiding run-on sentences
- using active voice
- writing for a purpose
- using transitions
- and much more
Warning: This is not an ordinary book. Ordinary books don't include winged baby hippopotami nesting in a tree or Frankenstein monsters at a self-help seminar. Ordinary books also don't appeal to young people the way this one does!
