The first tabbed handbook that helps students put their writing knowledge to use in the classroom. Andrea Lunsford helps writers adapt rhetorical moves from informal writing (such as text messages and Facebook posts) to formal writing — and to position themselves as academic writers and researchers.
Advice on making effective rhetorical choices for public as well as academic writing. Andrea Lunsford’s research shows that students today want their writing to "make things happen in the world," and The Everyday Writer offers a new chapter on writing for purposes beyond college — from event invitations and flyers to newsletters and reports.
Help with the "why" as well as the "how" of working with sources. New coverage of the basics of documentation analyzes why citation practices for academic writing differ from those for other kinds of writing — and helps students understand how to distinguish Web and database sources, how to use online versions of print sources, how to think about sources that don’t conform exactly to citation models, and more.
Words and images work together to demystify the writing process. New illustrated panels created by Andrea Lunsford and Vietnamerica author and graphic artist G.B. Tran give students new ways to think about rhetorical situations, critical reading, synthesis, and other sometimes confusing aspects of academic writing.
Rhetorical advice for reading and writing today’s multimodal assignments. Students today aren’t just writing print essays for composition class. The Everyday Writer integrates coverage of words, images, and media every step of the way, from analyzing an assignment to editing a final draft.
Students receive automatic access to LearningCurve with The Everyday Writer with Exercises. Bedford’s new online adaptive quizzing focuses students on the grammar and writing topics that they need the most help with.
