Streamlined and re-imagined writing assignment chapters offer:• Greater emphasis on the Basic Features of each genre. Each assignment chapter now starts with explanation of the Basic Features of that type of writing, which are color-coded in the model essays so students can see for themselves what makes good writing effective. Throughout the chapter, advice relating to the Basic Features is highlighted in the same colors, to reinforce their importance. • More "ways in" to the writing process. "Starting Points" and "Troubleshooting Your Draft" self- assessment charts help students choose their next steps, while suggestions for different ways of approaching the writing assignments help students play to their strengths. A fresh new design for greater ease of navigation. The Guides have been condensed and color-coded, making it easier for students to find what they need, when they need it. New and expanded coverage of academic writing skills: • A new chapter on analyzing and synthesizing sources features detailed instruction and includes sample analysis and synthesis essays about the morality of torture.• A new chapter on analyzing visuals includes a step-by-step walkthrough of a student’s analysis of a photo by Gordon Parks. • A new chapter on compiling annotated bibliographies.New readings introduce fresh voices and compelling topics, including Jeffrey Kluger on the origins of morality, Amy Goldwasser on what kids learn online, and Ann Hulbert on the film Juno.
