Description: Do you need a way to make writing just a little more palatable? Here's your answer. Play a game! A game with the potential of taking you on an African safari, to Egypt, through a medieval castle, into outer space, or down into the depths of the ocean The writing process for several different types of expository writing (informative, persuasive, comparison, contrast, and brainstorm) is cleverly disguised as steps on a board game. Just follow the steps and the student can watch his writing assignment grow almost effortlessly. Helped by graphic organizers (webs and Venn diagrams) and outlines (copy masters provided), there's even score sheet masters for evaluating the finished product. (All are printed on cardstock.) Players follow the path on the reversible gameboard drawing cards pertinent to their particular writing assignment. Cards signal which organizer to use or which questions to think about. One of the enjoyable little twists to this approach is the "expert" opinions provided for the student to incorporate into his written work.
