Students who can use proper grammar are great, but we all know there’s more to using language effectively than not making errors. Prestwick House’s new book, Rhetorical Devices: A Handbook and Activities for Student Writers, helps students improve their writing by teaching them how to use language to persuade. This book introduces students to the how's and why's of using rhetorical devices from Analogy to Zeugma. At the NCTE show this year, this book was especially well received by AP Language teachers and academic writing teachers looking for a program to help writing in their classroom.

Happy Thanksgiving!

O Lord that lends me life,

Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness.

~William Shakespeare
