Synopsis

For undergraduate-level courses in Composition, English, and Writing that focus on academic writing and writing from sources.

This combination rhetoric/anthology shows students how to read academic texts effectively and how to use them as sources for college papers in a variety of disciplines. The rhetoric teaches students the fundamental strategies for all phases of academic writing―critical reading, paraphrasing, summarizing, quoting, organizing, drafting, revising, editing, synthesizing, analyzing, researching, and developing arguments. The anthology offers engaging reading selections that introduce students to the issues and the methods of study in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities, and that serve as idea banks for their writing assignments. Throughout, students learn how to work individually and collaboratively as they move through the entire process of writing from sources―from reading the original source to planning, drafting and revising essays.
