From the Back Cover

Firmly process-oriented and based on interactive instruction, The Simon and Schuster Short Prose Reader, Third Edition, continues to combine high-interest reading material with creative, principled pedagogy. Short, appealing essays provide ideas for writing, suggest ways to approach a topic, and illustrate methods for organizing and presenting information.

Each reading is accompanied by a "Step-by-Step" writing assignment that guides students in composing their own essays. Students will experience success in their writing and will become more involved in learning; teachers will find the approach convenient and easy to use, since much of the instructional work has been done for them.

New features to the third edition include:

A new Annotated Instructor's Edition provides possible responses to all the post-reading questions in the text, answers to the vocabulary and editing-skills exercises, teaching tips and background information on the readings, guidance for implementing the writing assignments, and suggestions for making connections to other selections in the book.
New, expanded instruction in writing arguments in Chapter 10, including an explanation of the elements of good argument and a sample annotated argument that clearly illustrates these elements.
17 new readings, including selections by Bob Greene, Lynn Coady, Wayson Choy, Louis Menand, Dave Barry, Bill Bryson, Charles Krauthammer, and Robert MacNeil, along with 4 new student essays.
