Modelos, Prentice Hall's newest composition book is designed to enhance students' critical thinking and interpretive skills.

At each juncture, Modelos strives to reinforce the conviction that each student is an author, with a unique voice and individual ideas to share.
A unique student-centered, holistic approach to composition, Modelos features:
The title Modelos plays on the meaning of authentic texts as models for writing, and the notion that students are asked assume different roles as a writer, such as: escritor fotógrafo (description), and escritor abogado (argumentation).
