Product Description

Review

"Several years ago, while searching for a text that included the elements which I had found over the years were best for teaching composition, I discovered FROM IDEA TO ESSAY, 11e. It proved to be an excellent text, which I appreciated more during the successive years that I used it to teach my introductory classes. I was pleased to discover the elements I so appreciated in that text were kept in the current edition: an organization that began with an overview of the process of writing, a review of classic rhetorical structure, and grammar." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description

One of the most successful all-inclusive rhetorics on the market, this classic distinguishes itself with a story, poem, and photo writing assignment in each modes chapter.

This systematic rhetoric/reader/handbook carefully leads the student through the process of essay writing. It provides numerous sample readings—imaginative literature as well as the essay, specific guidelines on how to approach each rhetorical mode, writing assignments, and both student and professional models of completed assignments. In addition to covering nine rhetorical modes, the text includes a complete unit on the research paper and a comprehensive handbook section. Prereading, prewriting, and writing exercises throughout offer guidance in the fundamentals of reading and writing.

I ordered this book for a college class. It arrived on time and in condition described. I would order from this vendor again.
An Excellent Tool 4 Sep 2009
By Susan Toole - Published on Amazon.com
Even though this is a college textbook, I bought it to use with my high school essay-writing class. I'd had one for years, but I wore it out. Of all the books I've ever used, I feel this one is still the best.
