75 Readings Plus - Elk River Schools
75 Readings Plus is an expanded version of 75 Readings, the popular and inexpensive collection of essays for first-year composition that was first published in 1987 and is now in its eleventh edition. The tables of contents for the two texts are identical, but the presentation of instructional materials differs. Questions for discussion, suggestions for writing, and other instructional apparatus for 75 Readings are presented in a manual from which professors may copy materials for students as needed. In 75 Readings Phis, on the other hand, instructional materials appear in the text. Accompanying each selection are an author biography, a set of discussion questions on content and strategy, and three suggestions for sustained writing. In addition, to help instructors exploit the connection among reading, writing, and critical thinking, 75 Readings Plus again offers a set of prompts for short writing that are inspired by each essay selection and that appear in a subsection titled Engaging the Text. These prompts can be used as journal assignments or as warmup exercises for projects such as those described in Suggestions for Sustained Writing. In some cases, they can even be expanded into assignments for complete essays. As with previous editions, we have sought the advice of many col¬leagues across the country to determine changes that would make this book even more effective and appealing as a learning tool for college readers and writers. Many of these professionals have put both the new and the old selections in this book to the ultimate test by using them in their classrooms. They have also provided helpful suggestions that have enabled us to fashion a new table of contents that makes 75 Readings Plus more versatile and more representative of contemporary American culture than ever before.
