About this title

Synopsis

One of the most successful writing texts on the market, this "all-in-one" rhetoric and reader contains everything students need for courses in freshman composition.

Created by the authors of the best-selling Longman Reader, the text draws on decades of teaching experience to integrate the best of the "product" and "process" approaches to writing. Its particular strengths include an emphasis on the reading-writing connection, a focus on invention and revision, more attention to the fact that patterns blend in actual writing, and an abundance of class-tested activities and assignments—more than 350 in all.

From the Back Cover

One of the most successful writing texts of recent years, this all-in-one rhetoric, reader, and handbook contains everything writers need. Created by the authors of the best-selling The Macmillan Reader, the book draws on nearly 60 years of combined teaching experience to integrate the best of the product and process approaches to writing. Its particular strengths include an emphasis on the reading-writing connection, a focus on invention and revision, and more attention to the fact that patterns blend in actual writing.

Thorough, three-step treatment of the reading process, with an emphasis on critical reading skills and the link between reading and writing. Provides step-by-step coverage of the writing process with a separate chapter on each of the stages in the process. Each chapter includes extensive activities, collaborative exercises, and an extended case history showing the development of a paper at every stage of the process.
