Trade Paperback. Condition: Fine. Davila, Frank - Cover Image (illustrator). Fourth Custom Edition Second Printing. 613 Pages Indexed. Writing Today began with a few basic assumptions. First, we believe students want to learn writing skills that will help them succeed in college and in their careers. Second, students need a writing guide that presents information clearly, simply, and in a way that is easy to reference. Third, writing instructors prefer a teaching tool that is both practical and flexible, allowing them to adapt its content to their own pedagogical approaches and teaching styles. To help students with the kinds of writing they do in college courses and in their lives outside of the classroom, Writing Today provides tools they can use to respond effectively to many different writing situations. This book teaches genres of writing (memoirs, analyses, reports, proposals, etc.) and strategies for writing (narration, comparison, argumentation, etc.) as well as processes for writing (planning, drafting, revising, etc.). Writing Today is an easy-to-use book that fits the way today's students read and learn. We believe they respond best to an interactive writing style, so our instruction is brief and to the point; key concepts are immediately defined and reinforced; sections and paragraphs are short; and important points are clearly labeled and supported by instructional visuals. This straightforward presentation of complex information creates a reading experience in which students access information when they are ready for it.
