Students in this book will learn extensive source citation skills throughout the informative, biographical, and persuasive writing assignments.

(Note: The "plus" books in the MC series (4+, 6+, and 8+) are helpful for remediation for students up to a few grades above that book in that they have elaborate instructions on Key Word Outlines, Checklist Challenge revising, and other writing skills that students who have not written a lot may have "missed.")
