Synopsis

The popular, brief rhetoric that treats writing as thinking, WRITING ANALYTICALLY, International Edition, offers a series of prompts that lead you through the process of analysis and synthesis and help you to generate original and well-developed ideas. The book's overall point is that learning to write well means learning to use writing as a way of thinking well. To that end, the strategies of this book describe thinking skills that employ writing. As you will see, this book treats writing as a tool of thought - a means of undertaking sustained acts of inquiry and reflection.

About this title

Review

"I think Chapter 8 is the most useful chapter in WA. I use both the "bad" and "good" examples of an essay to help my students understand what's required of their own work. My students are not acquainted with writing anything other than a "report," so examples of writings that offer an extended analysis of ideas are crucial."
