This book offers guidelines to help students structure their narratives into clear explanations.

Specific types of explanations are presented and reproducible materials for practicing each type are provided. Students learn to explain:

• How to do something
• How to play a game
• How to find something
• Why something happens
• How machines work

Students also practice explaining by comparison and by trial and error.

An excellent approach to teaching complex narratives!
