Genre-based readings €” including narratives, reports, arguments, evaluations, proposals and rhetorical, causal, and literary analyses €” are sure to engage students and inspire ideas.  The result is everything you need to teach composition in a flexible, highly visual guide, reference and reader. This new edition gives students more support for academic writing, more help choosing and working with genres, and more emphasis on multimodal composing.
