Synopsis

Designed for use in introductory composition courses. The level will be most appropriate for the University/University College segment, although the book will also fit the College segment.

Reinking's multipurpose “four-in-one” text comprises Rhetoric, Research Guide, Reader, and Handbook sections. It should appeal to those who need a book that not only covers all the grammar bases and the writing process, but also includes oral work and covers the writing of theses and academic research papers. Chapters in the Rhetoric progress developmentally from pre-writing considerations through rhetorical strategies to elements that make up the essay. Useful examples (including annotated student essays), exercises, and suggestions invite students to test their understanding of concepts through practical application. The Research Guide provides exercises on such skills as note taking and conducting primary research. The Reader, which includes a helpful section on reading for different purposes, follows the sequencing of the Rhetoric. Finally, the handbook provides clear explanations of grammatical concepts, and reinforces understanding through examples and exercises.
