Great learning tool

From the dust jacket: Open this book and discover a clear, new light on the reading and writing connection. This illuminating text features thematically grouped readings by both students and experienced writers, as well as the humane discourse of its teacher-theoretician authors, to help students understand and successfully accomplish the purposes and processes of reading and writing. The book is divided into four parts: ? Concepts-This section introduces purpose, audience, and the reading and writing processes. It includes a student's writing in progressive drafts to illustrate the process of creating a written text. ? Purposes-Each chapter includes readings and assignments for a common purpose and on a common theme, presenting reading and writing as closely related, meaning-constructing processes. ? Strategies-Because a given rehetorical term or strategy applies to a variety of purposes, an alphabetically arranged reference section defines and illustrates the terms, concepts, and strategies effective readers and writers need to know and use. ? Handbook-A concluding section offers guidelines for diction, usage, punctuation, and mechanics. Great thought has been put into the book's instruction in the assignments such that the students MUST read.
