A Case for Writing provides readers with a fresh outlook on writing-demonstrating that writers write for an audience and that the conventions of standard English are practical, realistic tools for communication. Introductory chapters: "How Writing Works" and "Getting Started" set the stage for productive use of the casebook approach. Seventeen detailed cases are provided varying in difficulty, milieu, and emotional intensity. A glossary of useful terms accompanies each individual case-defining terms in context. "Analyzing the Case" follows each case, setting out the issues and problems of each situation followed by further questions for analysis. Writing assignments and exercises accompany each case-ranging from a sentence or two to a fully developed essay. Additional Cases are included in an appendix for further exploration, along with ESL tips. Two articles are included in the Appendix: "Claim Your Domain Name Before the Internet Winter Hits" and "Wood Ghost" are included with annotations to illustrate how professional writers work. For those interested in improving their writing skills at the paragraph to essay level.
