I think you'll find it very useful. I'm happy to be a resource if you need it.

I'd forgotten the specifics of this method.

Thank you, Deleyna. I'm not surprised that Margie knows about this. Many of her teachings reinforce the idea of feeling-action-speech.

I've found it very helpful in structure and understanding how the books come together. Thank you for sharing this so well!

This is a great tool I will be using in the future.

I'm glad you found it interesting, Ellen. I'm not surprised many haven't heard about it. Swain first published through the University of Oklahoma Press in 1965. I had the good fortune to hear him speak and meet him in 1986. In my opinion, he should get more attention for his books.
