Quatrième de couverture
In the REAL WORLD, do we write just ONE mode in isolation?
With a strong focus on writing and the writing process, WORDSMITH: COLLEGE WRITING, Second Edition also groups the methods of development in threes — to better show students the relationships between them, and to give students strategies for using more than one in their papers:
The Showing and Telling chapter covers Description, Narration, and Example.
The Limiting and Ordering chapter covers Definition, Classification, and Process.
The Examining Logical Connections chapter covers Comparison-Contrast, Cause-Effect, and Argument.
Throughout the text, WORDSMITH: A GUIDE TO PARAGRAPHS AND SHORT ESSAYS 2E also provides extensive exercises for students to practice their skills:
Practice and Review Exercises are brief, short-answer style exercises.
Editing, Group and Writing Assignments require working with or creating writing samples.
Progressive Writing Assignments connect writing process concepts from other chapters.
With a focus on writing and a variety of exercises, WORDSMITH: A GUIDE TO COLLEGE WRITING 2E illustrates how the elements of good writing are rarely performed in isolation.
Présentation de l'éditeur
The Wordsmith series is the value-priced option that students will appreciate while mastering key writing and grammar skills.
Pam Arlov wrote a textbook series that counters many of the objections students had about textbooks, such as:
Students find textbooks dry and tedious. Arlov includes thought-provoking chapter openers, plenty of visuals, and a conversational, engaging writing style that students really respond to.
Students find textbooks irrelevant to their lives. Arlov's coverage of the rhetorical modes is realistic and models real-life writing. She includes "Real Writing" examples in the modes chapters to make Wordsmith relevant to students' lives.
Students become frustrated if the entire text is not used in class. Wordsmith is 100 pages briefer than similar texts on the market and an affordable option. This more concise approach also does not overwhelm students with too much information. Wordsmith provides students with just the right balance of instruction and practice.
