Synopsis

Reflecting Ron Lunsford and Bill Bridges' fifty years of combined teaching experience, The Longwood Guide to Writing is among the most accessible, up-to-date, and authoritative aims-based rhetorics on the market.

This text helps students see the organic nature of the writing process by continually offering them the opportunity to examine and refine their own individual writing processes. Students are introduced to all phases of the writing process and then engage in a range of “writing occasions”―writing personal essays, informative and evaluative essays, essays from and about literature, and position, persuasive, and problem/solution essays. Each of these core writing chapters features five to seven professional readings, discusses the rhetorical triangle, and follows a student through their writing process. Students also learn effective ways to conduct research, write with sources, take essay exams, and create portfolios.
