REVIEW:
Paradigm Online Writing Assistant is a useful writing guide for novices to experienced writers. The guide explores the process approach to writing and covers each step from choosing a topic to organizing, revising, editing, and documenting sources. Each section has activities to get users started, complete with instructions. Each of four different types of essays has a section for exploration: informal, thesis/support, argumentative, and exploratory. This site is a great resource for writing teachers or students who need a little guidance while writing essays.
