Full-color images and texts demand close reading. Seeing & Writing 4 includes a compelling array of compositions — from brand-new to tried & true — by accomplished writers, artists, and creative communicators. Essays, ads, poems, paintings, stories, photographs, mixed media, sculpture, cartoons, and cultural artifacts all add up to an incomparable table of contents.7 chapters explore contemporary American culture — both popular and academic, high and low covering topics such as Coming to Terms with Place and Taking a Stand. A new chapter is dedicated to discussing the challenging topic of class. Fresh units highlight such diverse topics as what our stuff says about us and what it means to be bi-racial. Streamlined design driven by pedagogical purpose. Creative collaboration between designers and teachers result in a sharper focus on critical reading and effective writing. Visual/Verbal Pairs – a striking image presented with a poem or short prose piece — asks students to think about the relationship between visual and verbal composition strategies. Portfolios of images — collections of paintings, photographs, or mixed-media texts by a single artist — allows students to consider style, theme, and vision. Retrospects — visual timelines — graphically show students how time has changed the face of the advertisements we see, the movies we watch, and the magazines we read. Looking Closer — a sharply targeted collection of visual and verbal texts — invites students to respond to a specific question about each chapter's larger topic.
