Synopsis

Recently Revised Seventh Edition Now Available!

Write It: A Process Approach to College Essays, with Readings focuses on the academic essay and its conventions. It contains activities that directly involve students in reading critically, generating ideas on a topic, developing a thesis statement, finding and using evidence to support that thesis, and revising their work for coherence and clarity. 

Each chapter works to give students a solid foundation for understanding and using the writing process effectively. A series of interactive writing exercises engage students at every stage of the process and give the text a predictable structure that allows students to measure progress.

Each unit presents a reading selection that puts forward an argument on a particular topic, followed by a writing topic that requires students to respond with their own position. Each unit also includes a group of reading selections on the unit's topic. These supplemental reading selections offer students multiple points of view and foster in-depth thinking that in turn lead to more complex, interesting student essays.
