Synopsis

Subject and Strategy's time-tested approach features advice, exercises, and writing assignments that help students choose the rhetorical strategy that best suits their subject, and then use that strategy to achieve their writing purpose. Subject and Strategy is now better than ever -- with engaging and teachable readings by well-known writers; step-by-step reading, writing, and revising instruction; and expanded coverage of key grammar and editing concerns. The introduction to each strategy chapter gives students key tips for using the strategy effectively, and demonstrates multiple uses for the strategy in their other classes.
