The Complete Upgrade Your Writing Series DVD

The Complete Upgrade Your Writing Series DVD | 6.5 GB

Finally, an easy-to-use resource that helps everyday students dramatically upgrade their everyday writing! Video Aided Instruction’s brand new Upgrade Your Writing DVD series is like a virtual writing clinic on DVD. It helps middle school students through adults (especially challenged learners requiring remediation) to express themselves more effectively; improve their command of grammar, usage, and mechanics; meet (and exceed) the requirements of their assignments; focus on their purpose and their audience; and develop a writing style that’s smooth, engaging, and truly their own!

With these unique programs, viewers will master the tricks of:

* brainstorming and getting ideas down on paper
* turning a jumble of ideas into a structured outline
* beating procrastination and treating “blinking cursor syndrome”
* writing sentences that are varied, interesting, and grammatically correct
* constructing paragraphs that hang together cohesively and are divided logically
* guiding the reader gracefully from each point to the next
* writing captivating introductions and compelling conclusions
* excelling in poetry, short stories, and other creative writing assignments
* learning new words by using roots, prefixes, suffixes, context clues, word cards, etc.
* avoiding errors in spelling, punctuation, agreement, word choice, and other areas
* and much, much more!

Now students can avoid the kind of incoherent, disorganized, and error-laden writing that inspires teachers to break out the proverbial red pen: they can finally learn to articulate their ideas effectively and actually upgrade their writing!

NOTE: The 10 DVDs in this invaluable series make ideal self-study aids, and they’re also the ultimate resources for educators (teachers, professors, administrators, etc.) who wish to further their own professional development, provide in-service training for their staff members, or supplement and enhance their classroom lessons.

5) YourDictionary 

Vituperate (verb)ous (adjective)

Pronunciation: [vI-'tu-pêr-yet or -'tyu (British)]

Definition: To scold extremely harshly and with abusive language, to furiously verbally abuse.

Usage: The adjective is "vituperative" and the noun, "vituperation." One who vituperates is a vituperator. "Fulminate" originally meant "to explode," so this verb refers to an explosive verbal attack on someone. "Vituperate" also refers to an abusive verbal attack but one which is not necessarily loud.

Suggested Usage: Here is a scene I would have paid real money to witness: "The incensed priests . . . continued to raise their voices, vituperating each other in bad Latin" –Walter Scott, Ivanhoe (1819). Here is the intelligent substitute for "curse" (or worse, "cuss") you have been looking for: "Vituperate as much as you please; even if you fulminate, I will not change my mind."

Etymology: Latin vituperare "to censure, find fault" from vitium "fault" + parare "to prepare, furnish." "Vitium" developed into French "vice" whence English vice "bad habit, crime." It is unrelated to the prefix "vice-" which comes from Latin vicinus "near, neighboring." It is related to Russian vina "guilt, fault."
