Synopsis:
Three new chapters have been added to this popular guide to the writing process, making the fifth edition the most complete and efficient ever. Putting the beginning composition student at ease with his sensible approach, renowned award-winning writer Donald Murray initiates student writing from the very first pages and introduces sequential writing skills that help students find a voice, understand forms of writing, and appreciate the writing of others. The three new chapters provide guidelines for various writing tasks, case histories of the writing process, and connects good writing with effective reading.
