After a brief overview of the role grammar, usage, and mechanics play in good writing, this straightforward program focuses on principles of style. Large, clear captions and live-action footage illustrating major points—and often featuring teenagers—explain how to improve writing through 11 principles centering on active voice, parallel structure, sentence patterns, positive statements, word selection, connotation vs. denotation, the use of modifiers, the relation of ideas, metaphors and similes, cliches, and content.
