More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
It is a paragraph-to-essay level worktext with readings and a handbook. This mid-level text closely integrates the writing process throughout the text and teaches the rhetorical modes covered in freshman composition classes. Brandon's friendly, informal tone, numerous exercises and offbeat readings encourage students to persevere in the writing process and become strong writers. Brandon introduces a new instructional and design concept to this ninth edition. The writing process is not a one step or linear process. "Strong Emphasis on the Writing Process" teaches a three stage writing process. Stage one is exploring, experimenting and gathering information; stage two is writing the controlling idea and organising and developing support and stage three is writing, revising and editing. "Reading for Writing" Opening CDapter: this is the only chapter that was moved in the new edition. It is now at the beginning (previously chapter 6) to show the student how reading other texts is often the basis for most college writing. Extended Student Examples for Each Stage of the Writing Process. Most chapters present a student example in progress to reinforce principles and provide achievable models. Brandon stresses the importance of revision. Handbook: a complete handbook at the end of the textbook to provide instant help on grammar questions and bibliography citations. NEW! 45 per cent new reading selections and NEW! Refreshed content in grammar exercises.
