Book 2 begins with a review of capitalization and basic punctuation and then works on the nuts and bolts of sentence and paragraph writing. Later chapters focus on character and setting development and the use of creative, interesting details. Dialogue and point of view are introduced, and editing and publishing are also covered. Students develop longer, more detailed stories than they did in Book 1.
