Summary

An illustrated notebook of definitions, diagrams, key concepts, and mnemonic devices geared to help middle school students learn about reading, writing, and the English language.

Description

Everything You Need To Ace English Language Arts In One Big Fat Notebook takes students from grammar to reading comprehension to writing with ease, including parts of speech, active and passive verbs, Greek and Latin roots and affixes; nuances in word meanings; textual analysis, authorship, structure, and other skills for reading fiction and nonfiction; and writing arguments, informative texts, and narratives.

The Big Fat Notebook series is built on a simple and irresistible conceit - borrowing the notes from the smartest kid in class. Each book in the series is the only book you need subjects taught from grades 7 to 9: Maths, Science, English, and World History. Inside the reader will find every subject's key concepts, easily digested and summarised: Critical ideas highlighted in marker colours. Definitions explained. Doodles that illuminate tricky concepts. Mnemonics for a memorable shortcut. And quizzes to recap it all.
