Critical Strategies for Academic Thinking and Writing. Third Edition. A Text with Readings.
Seller: Fundus-Online GbR Borkert Schwarz Zerfaß, Berlin, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Gut. XXV; 737 S.; Illustr.; graph. Darst.; 23 cm; kart. Gutes Ex. - Englisch. // About This Book Critical Strategies for Academic Thinking and Writing, Third Edition, is a major revision of a text and reader that gets to the heart of what is so essential for success in college but is so hard for students to develop. Written and edited by Mike Rose and Malcolm Kiniry and based on years of research on the reading and writing demands of the college curriculum, the streamlined third edition empowers students with the six thinking and writing strategies necessary for most college-level work in any discipline and gives them practice with the kinds of material they'll be working with in their other college courses. Unlike the typical rhetorically arranged reader, Critical Strategies for Academic Thinking and Writing doesn't treat these strategies as static patterns but instead helps students reflect on how and when to use them, what they enable students to do, their limitations, and their effect on thinking. New to This Edition - Thematically linked readings throughout each strategy chapter provide a body of knowledge that students can use to apply the strategy. The readings represent a range of current topics from various disciplines - the changing definition of intelligence, child poverty in the United States, the construction of guilt or innocence in the law, immigration patterns, primate research and what it reveals about language and behavior, and the relation between literature and cultural politics. - 52 of the 104 readings are new. While truly academic and truly cross-disciplinary, the readings are also interesting, accessible, and relatively brief (most are 3-7 pages). Headnotes are now included for all the readings. - Essay-length model reading now provided for each strategy shows students how professional writers use the strategy. - Substantially revised and expanded apparatus gives students more help. All of the Opening Problems that start each chapter are new, 40 percent of the writing assignments are new or revised, and new sets of Further Assignments (which ask students to connect readings and do some research) conclude each chapter. In addition, there is more guidance throughout the book. - Substantially revised field research assignments help students apply the strategies as they observe and analyze material from a range of sources, including the Internet. In What's Funny?, for example, students can gather information from cartoons, comic strips, greeting cards, TV sitcoms, movies, and comedy clubs to draw conclusions about how comedy works. - A thoroughly revised Instructor's Manual contains an introduction for new teachers, overviews of the chapters and readings, additional writing suggestions, and discussions of connections between readings.
