Synopsis
OVERVIEW
Write to Learn, Sixth Edition, is a rhetoric written for the beginning composition student. Donald Murray--a pioneer of the process writing approach--takes students step-by-step through the writing process with the goal of helping them to find their own process and style of writing. With his supportive writer-to-writer voice, Don Murray creates a unique relationship between author and beginning writer that helps to instill confidence in the beginning writer as he shares both his struggles and successes. By using examples of his own writing and the writing of both students and professionals, Don Murray offers beginning writers numerous examples from which to model and learn.

Review
"Murray's friendly tone encourages students to forget their fears and to start writing for fun. He speaks directly to the reader in a familiar way, and students feel empowered and passionate about writing."
"Author Donald Murray's enthusiasm for writing is infectious, and his breezy, conversational tone inspires confidence in even the most self-conscious writers."
"WRITE TO LEARN is a 'great little book.' It is substantive enough for teaching, yet fun. Murray's voice is easy on the ear. The writer's ear that is. . . . .He gets it and wants us to get it too!"
