Synopsis

NOTE: This ISBN does not contain access code and it includes only print book"


FUSION: INTEGRATED READING AND WRITING, Book 2 is a developmental English book for reading and writing at the essay level. It connects the reading and writing processes so that they are fully reciprocal and reinforcing, using parallel strategies that guide users in analyzing reading to generate writing. FUSION teaches critical reading strategies in conjunction with the shared writing traits, such as main idea, details, and organization, and teaches the types of writing (including research) that users are likely to encounter later on. Grammar instruction is integrated in authentic writing, using high-interest professional and student models.

Review:

"As a reading professor, I appreciate how well FUSION walks students through the writing process in general, and for each writing pattern specifically. It scaffolds my teaching and helps me feel more confident as I move from teaching 'stand alone' reading classes to integrated reading and writing classes."

"I selected FUSION after seeing an early version and noting that the opening approach was in reading, with several opportunities to write responses and open a solid foundation based on reading/comprehension as a process. I also experienced very dedicated support from my Cengage rep and others who worked with her and with us to make sure that our faculty had resources and information."
