Synopsis:

Writing Talk addresses students' diverse learning styles by providing the most varied practice exercises.

Each student learns differently. Winkler and McCuen-Matherall created a writing series to help instructors reach more students. Writing Talk reaches more students by providing the most varied practice exercises of any writing text.  Every unit contains Practice Exercises, Unit Tests, Unit Talk-Write Exercises, Unit Collaborative Assignments, Unit Writing Assignments, and Photo Writing Assignments. These diverse exercises will help students of all types, including visual, audio, and collaborative learners learn and retain the material.  

From the Back Cover:

Now in its third edition, the WRITING TALK series continues to be known for the authors' engaging, down-to-earth writing style. The goal of this revision is two-fold: to make the text even easier for instructors to use, and to provide the best and most varied practice exercises of any writing text available.

To that end, Prentice Hall is proud to introduce an Instructor's Edition for Writing Talk: Paragraphs and Short Essays with Reading: Third Edition. The Instructor's Edition includes in-text exercise answers for instructors and a built-in instructor's guide in the back of the text with additional activities, teaching tips, and more.

In addition, the authors have thoroughly revised and updated the exercises in each unit.

• Practicing Exercises. Averaging over 10 per unit, Practicing Exercises help reinforce concepts as they are presented.
• Unit Tests. Unit Tests assess students' knowledge of the material covered in the entire unit.
• Unit Talk-Write Exercises. Often a more involved exercise, the Talk-Write Exercise in each unit explores the connection between speaking and writing.
• Unit Collaborative Assignments. Often requiring students to revise and edit each other's work, the Unit Collaborative Assignments encourage students to work together to improve their writing.
• Unit Writing Assignments. These writing assignments are open-ended and usually direct students to revise and edit their work.
• Photo Writing Assignments. Another type of open-ended writing assignment, the Photo Writing Assignments provide students with thought-provoking pictures to help them begin the writing process.

PH Words. An internet-based, course management program, PH WORDS gives English instructors the ability to measure and track students' mastery of the elements of writing. PH WORDS includes over 130 modules covering grammar, paragraph and essay development, and the writing process. This online solution allows students to work on their areas of weakness, freeing up class, time for instructors to address students' individual needs both in the classroom and one-on-one.
