Annotated Bibliography of Writing Materials for Use by GED Instructors in Preparation for the GED Writing Sample.
Glustrom, Merrill
This bibliography is divided into three sections. Section I, Review of General Educational Development (GED) Publisher Composition Texts, reviews extensively the texts published by Cambridge, Contemporary, Scott Foresman, and Steck-Vaughn to enable the instructor to choose a primary text. The reviews tell the exact instructional sequence of the texts, their strengths and weaknesses in relation to various instructional goals, and their recommended use. GED texts are also recommended as supplements to the primary text. Addresses are provided for each publisher. Section II, Review of Non-GED Publisher Composition Texts, offers texts to enhance instruction. The annotation included with each title relates the areas of focus, strengths, and parts of the book suitable for use with students. Annotations indicate level (Pre-GED, GED, and Advanced GED) and tell where the instruction of the texts is focused--presentence, sentence, paragraph, multiparagraph, or essay. Especially helpful parts of the text are underlined, and bibliographic information is provided. Section III, Example Exercises, provides examples of the types of exercises found in the non-GED publisher texts. It is divided into two parts: prewriting/drafting and revising. Author(s), title, publisher, date, and pagination are provided for each text in the first two sections. (YLB)
