Very formulaic - with a few good ideas thrown in.  It is good for kids who 
struggle with organization and need a lot of structure.  Mostly expository 
writing with lots of emphasis on keeping to a formula/pattern.  These pieces 
would never meet the needs of a writing portfolio.  There is very little 
emphasis on voice or word choice.
