Literature: Reading to Write

masterfully weaves together critical thinking skills,

writing, and reading instruction through the use of writing prompts, literary

selections, and intriguing discussion points. The book helps you transition from

being an active reader to a critical writer through a series of reading prompts and

unique writing exercises. This process helps you find meaning in a broader context

by forging connections between literature and your personal experiences.

The book includes an eclectic array of classic and contemporary voices in literature,

as well as sections devoted to newer genres, such as graphic novels. This interactive

approach develops the knowledge and confidence you need to write in your own

voice and to produce research papers and essays that are thought-provoking,

engaging, and authentic.

Literature: Reading to Write includes features designed to focus
on reading, critical thinking, and research writing

a variety of authors, such as Susan Glaspell, Tim O’Brien, and Lucille Clifton.

• Shorter mini-chapters introduce you to the writing/reading process and highlight

newer, appealing genres, such as comedy, horror, music, film, graphic novels, and

experimental literature.

• Integrated writing instruction is broken down into a step-by-step process that

Critical Thinking

• Biographical and contextual boxes are strategically placed next to selections to

illustrate historical and literary meaning.

• In a feature called Comparing Themes, you are asked to compare the same theme

in various works to develop your skills in comparative analysis.

• Three critical casebooks demonstrate argumentative and interpretive writing for

each genre.

Writing

• Model student papers appear in every chapter in Part II (Writing in Response to

Literature) to show progress in mastering and demonstrating the various writing

skills.

• Part IV on Research Writing comprehensively covers the entire research process

from brainstorming to citing sources.
