Writing With a Thesis With Infotrac: A Rhetoric and Reader

WRITING WITH A THESIS is based on the persuasive principle—the development and support of a thesis in order to persuade a reader, which is exactly the skill the beginning writer in freshman composition needs to develop. The book's 52 professional and 10 student essays are almost all short and easy to read so that class time can be devoted not to what the readings mean, but to what they mean for the student's writing.
