"These grammar packets which I have written for my
English 1 students. These packets can be used successfully with students of
various ages, but I suggest that the packets be used with Grades 6 through
adults.........
It is my hope that these packets will help teach
students correct grammar, punctuation, and capitalization skills which can then
be implemented into their oral and written communication........
It has taken me over twenty-six years to write and
revise these packets, and they have been piloted among my students in many
different school districts......."

The Genre and Activity of the Experimental Article in Science by Charles Bazerman
Edited for digital presentation by Patricia Klei and Mike Palmquist
In Shaping Written Knowledge, Charles Bazerman traces the history and character of the experimental article in science, calling attention to the social and rhetorical forces that shaped its development. Truly a landmark in writing studies, this book provides a broadly interdisciplinary exploration of an important genre and offers insights that extend far beyond its immediate focus of study.
Although almost a decade has passed since the second edition of this work was published, this encyclopedia's reputation as a high-quality scholarly work has not diminished. Guided by an advisory board comprising leading researchers (including eight Nobel laureates), editor in chief Meyers (Ramtech, Inc.) used a peer review process that produced over 780 articles written by experts. The coverage in this third edition has expanded to include molecular biology, biochemistry, and biotechnology.
