Abstract	Utilizing Southwestern Indian myths, legends, poems, history, and information on religious beliefs, architecture, fine arts, music, dance, and social practices, the Pre-GED (General Educational Development) Level II writing skills workbook, part of the PATHWAYS Curriculum, provides a culture-based GED preparatory reading and writing curriculum for Indian adult education students. The workbook emphasizes student-generated writing, which is achieved in two ways: asking the student to write brief, one-sentence answers to questions in the exercises, and giving the student instruction and practice in composing short narratives as well as paragraphs. The five units of study and lessons presented in each unit are as follows: parts of speech (use of nouns, pronouns, tenses, adjectives, adverbs, prepositional words and phrases, conjunctions); sentence structure (complete, incomplete, and run-on sentences, subject-verb agreement, verb used as adjective, avoidance of double negative); paragraph development (characteristics of paragraph writing, dialogue and sequencing in narrative writing, deductive method of paragraph writing, use of examples in expository writing); punctuation (use of comma, semicolon, colon, quotation marks, apostrophe, hyphen); and capitalization (use of capitals in poetry and in abbreviations, titles, organizations, places, languages, races, nationalities, and religions). Each lesson contains an explanation of the skill to be learned, an illustration, questions pertaining to the lesson, and a unit test. A glossary concludes the workbook. (ERB)
