The Prentice Hall Guide for College Writers

For courses in first-year Composition and Rhetoric.

A practical, step-by-step approach with writer’s purpose at the core

With new forms of delivery and expression changing the expectations of writers and audiences, the definition of “writing” continues to evolve – and so must today’s writers.  The Prentice Hall Guide for College Writers,  Eleventh Edition helps students navigate this territory by asking them to consider purpose, audience, and genre every time they write. Each project chapter guides students with a series of assignments, aligned with WPA Recommended Outcomes for First-year Writing.
