A+ Guide to the Freshman Five

Please Note: This is a boxed set.

The first year of college can be challenging for many reasons. The classes are harder, the schedule is more demanding, and you will be expected to manage everything on your own, perhaps for the first time in your life.

And the papers! You have to write so many papers!

But there is help available for the papers, at least.

The Freshman Five Boxed Set contains the five Alison Plus Guides to Writing for the five types of papers most college freshmen will have to write: five-paragraph essays, short answer essays, compare and contrast essays, persuasive essays, and narrative essays. Each assignment type has different challenges and goals, but now one collection makes all five writing guides available in one boxed set.

Here are each of the five writing guides contained in this boxed set.
Book One: A+ Guide to Five-Paragraph Essays
Book Two: Short Answer Essays
Book Three: Compare and Contrast Essays
Book Four: Persuasive Essays
Book Five: Narrative Essays

Here's what people are saying about these booklets.

"The method for turning a thesis statement into topic sentences was very useful and easy to apply."

"I thought proofreading meant you should read the paper and hope you spot the mistakes. Now I have a better way to do that, using the layered technique."

"I thought outlining was a waste of time and a headache. But the 'working outline' was actually very helpful and made me see that an outline isn't about roman numerals and indents."

"Thank you for the guidance. I have made a breakthrough!"

"Awesome!"

"The grid made a big job seem really manageable."

"This made it all seem really easy."

"I thought I should just write about what happened. If I had done that, I would have left out some important things. Thanks for showing me what was missing!"

"Whew! I tried this, and wrote my paper in record time!"
