About this title

Synopsis

Writing in the Works--an innovative rhetoric, reader, research guide, and handbook--treats students as writers rather than as students who write. Throughout the text, engaging assignments encourage students to view themselves as writers in many different contexts--in their personal lives, in their academic careers, and in their roles as group and community members--thus providing them with important, satisfying, and practical reasons to write. A comprehensive ancillary package complements the text with dynamic learning tools for students and time-saving, course management resources for instructors. The supplements include the Online Study Center for students, the WriteSpace online writing program, and the SMARTHINKING live, online tutoring service.
