College Writing - Keeping it Real

College Writing: Keeping it Real takes a purpose-oriented approach to writing, giving readers what they need to write effectively in any situation from personal writing through academic and workplace writing. A real-world focus prepares readers for success in everyday life. Rather than separating the coverage into a distinct "handbook" at the end of the book, grammar is taught in the context of writing within each chapter. The "troubleshooting tips" chart on the inside front cover helps readers find and use this material more easily. In keeping with its real-world approach to writing, College Writing offers several chapters not found in any other developmental writing book. Among these are "Be a Critic: Writing a Book Review" and "Allow Me to Introduce: Profiling a Real Person." Each chapter includes one-page worksheets that help readers brainstorm, outline, organize, and prepare their essays. For those seeking to enhance their writing skills at the essay level, through a purpose-oriented and real-world approach.
