Methods for communicating in writing to different audiences are explored in this PBS series. "School Writing / Real World" relates academic writing to professional, on-the-job work. "Finding Something to Say" introduces the first step in the writing process; selecting a topic. An arrest report, a magazine story and character descriptions by novelists provide examples of how to handle "Description". Teachers and authors emphasize the importance of "Reading as a Writer" in the fourth program. Each episode approximately 28 minutes. Narrator Peter Berkow. Peter Berkow and Anita Berkow. Study guide available. Closed captioned.
