Everything you need to master English language arts in one big course.

It's a revolutionary study guide in English Language Arts, designed specifically for middle school students, created by BrainQuest. Everything you need to master English Language Arts... Guides students from grammar to reading comprehension and writing with ease, including parts of speech, active and passive verbs, and Greek and Latin roots and suffixes; the nuances of word meanings; text analysis, composition, structure, and other skills for reading novels and stories; and writing arguments, informational texts, and narratives. The Big Fat Notebook series is built on a simple, engaging idea—borrowing notes from the smartest student in the class. The series consists of five books, and each is the only book you need for every major subject taught in middle school: math, science, American history, English language arts, and world history. Inside, you'll find the key concepts of each subject, summarized and easy to understand: important ideas highlighted in neon colors; explanations of definitions; illustrations that illustrate difficult concepts with highlighters; easy-to-memorize shortcuts; and quizzes to sum it all up. Big Fat Notebooks meet Common Core State Standards, Next Generation Science Standards, and History Standards and are endorsed by national and state Teacher of the Year award-winning teachers. They make learning fun and are the perfect next step for every child raised on Brain Quest.
