English Power Workbook, Grades 11–12
Take high-school English to the college-entry level.
The English Power Workbook, Grades 11–12 transforms the Common Core English Language Arts standards into focused, hands-on practice designed for juniors and seniors preparing for college, standardized tests, and future careers.
Rather than simply asking students to choose an answer, this workbook teaches them how to think critically, analyze evidence, construct strong arguments, and write with confidence. Every lesson begins with a clear explanation, walks through a worked example using the "How to Solve It" method, and provides extensive practice with complete answer keys.
