This integrated reader and multi-skills workbook is designed to teach, review, and expand students' reading skills, study skills, vocabulary, and grammar. A major focus of Forces of Nature, Wildfiresis on writing skills, and each unit contains one free-writing activity and one major writing task. Grammar is reviewed in writing activities and in Language in Use sections. Each reading passage is supported by pre-reading activities, including a vocabulary preview and post-reading activities. Vocabulary is recycled throughout the exercises in the book. Many speaking and pair work activities round out this skills review text. The Forces of Natureworkbooks combine high-interest readings with skills development activities. Each of the five workbooks features a different skills focus--reading, vocabulary, grammar, study skills, and multi-skill review with writing activities. Each content-based workbook also focuses on a different force of nature--earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and floods, blizzards, and wildfires. These events were selected because they allow students to develop an understanding of natural events that threaten property, ways of life, and lives. Because information about preparing for a disaster is sometimes unavailable or not at a level that is understandable to some of today's students, tips for surviving each force of natureare presented at the end of each workbook.Caplan, Nigel A. is the author of 'Forces of Nature, Wildfires', published 2007 under ISBN 9780472032532 and ISBN 0472032534.
