In the REAL WORLD, do we write just ONE mode in isolation?
With a strong focus on writing and the writing process, WORDSMITH: COLLEGE WRITING, Second Edition also groups the methods of development in threes to better show students the relationships between them, and to give students strategies for using more than one in their papers:
The Showing and Telling chapter covers Description, Narration, and Example.
The Limiting and Ordering chapter covers Definition, Classification, and Process.
The Examining Logical Connections chapter covers Comparison-Contrast, Cause-Effect, and Argument.
Throughout the text, WORDSMITH: A GUIDE TO PARAGRAPHS AND SHORT ESSAYS 2E also provides extensive exercises for students to practice their skills:
Practice and Review Exercises are brief, short-answer style exercises.
Editing, Group and Writing Assignments require working with or creating writing samples.
Progressive Writing Assignments connect writing process concepts from other chapters.
With a focus on writing and a variety of exercises, WORDSMITH: A GUIDE TO COLLEGE WRITING 2E illustrates how the elements of good writing are rarely performed in isolation.
