Writing Navigator goes beyond surfacing details: this is right; that is wrong. It prompts students to make creative decisions, to discover what they want to say, to reach for the best words in the best order.
These tools offer instructional features that help you
Writing Navigator guides you through the entire writing process.
You’ll get feedback about what you write and begin to think like an experienced writer.
We’ll even help you collect research information and document it appropriately.
A good essay doesn't just happen. Even experienced writers must go through the messy process of brainstorming and shuffling ideas before a writing plan begins to emerge. This tool will guide you through the process of generating ideas and organizing them into a plan for writing. Then you can send your plan to Writing Drafter and shape it into a well-developed first draft.
Auto-save is available automatically when using individual student and teacher accounts.
Auto-save works as you type or edit your document. It saves not only your essay but also the purpose and audience statements and all research information.
You can also manually save your work to your portfolio or your computer.
Writing Navigator offers options for taking your work with you or sharing it with your audience.
You can e-mail your work from any of the four products in the series.
You can also export it to Word (.docx) to add those final formatting touches before turning it in.
The second step in the writing process is to transform your writing plan into the first draft of an essay. This tool will help you develop coherent sentences and paragraphs from the organized ideas in your plan. Then you can send your draft to Writing Reviser and shape it into an essay that has precision and power.

For research papers, you'll finish documenting your sources using an automated tool that creates MLA-style parenthetical citations and a works-cited page.
In each product of Writing Navigator, you can collect research notes as well as information needed about any sources used.
We eliminate guesswork and confusion. By making a series of simple choices from pull-down menus, you automatically follow the prescribed MLA format.
