Synopsis

Cheryl Glenn's THE HARBRACE GUIDE TO WRITING, Second Edition, brings the rhetorical situation to life by translating rhetorical theory into easy-to-follow (and easy-to-teach) techniques that help sharpen students' ability to observe what words, assertions, or opinions might work best with a particular audience in a specific situation.

About this title

Review

"Finding and analyzing rhetoric in what's already familiar to students is a great way for them to understand its reach and relevance."

"The approach inculcates into students the idea that they're not always writing for an English professor, or for any professor at all. When I encounter 'Real Responses to Real Situations, ' [of Part 2] my only response is 'More, please.'"

"This is REAL writing, not just training for possible future English majors."

"The 'Community Connections' activities are a great way to teach students to think about 'global' or large-scale societal issues but to compose work that is more local or scaled-down enough to have a feasible chance of making a difference to an audience."
