Hallmark Features of Strategies for Successful Writing

How do you supplement your current writing text?

Comprehensive Textbook - that offers "all in one" (rhetoric, reader, handbook and research guide) for a full-year composition course, including end-of-chapter exercises and many writing examples.  Instructors teaching a one-term course can make selections from Chapters 1-17, from whatever types of specialized writing suit the needs of their students, and from appropriate essays in the Reader.  Instructors should not have to supplement this book, unless they desire to do so.  (See page 1 Rhetoric, page 317 Research Guide, page 427 Reader, page 603 Handbook)

What challenges do your students have with using a writing text?

Student-based approach to writing — addresses the student directly, in a style that is conversational, yet clear and concise.  Invites students into the book, lessens their apprehensions about writing, and provides a model for their own writing.  This text truly meets the needs of students.  (See Preface explanation)

Would instructor resource materials that save you time in course preparation be helpful?

Annotated Instructor Edition — saves instructors time by offering help with course preparation, and gives instructors a portable reference to help them maximize their textbook as a tool for their courses.   (See Blue Margin Notes Throughout Book)

  For Freshman Composition courses.

   

  This best-selling rhetorically-organized writing guide combines four books—a rhetoric, a research guide, reader, and handbook—into one convenient and flexible teaching tool while offering students an exceptional value. Also available in an alternate version without a Handbook section.

   

  The authors of Strategies for Successful Writing: a Rhetoric, Research Guide, Reader, and Handbook have strived to achieve the same steadfast goals that have motivated them from the beginning: create a rhetorically-organized writing guide that combines four books into one convenient and flexible teaching tool while offering students an exceptional value. By having at their disposal a comprehensive textbook that offers ample material for a full-year composition course, instructors teaching a one-term course can make various selections from Chapters 1-17, from whatever types of specialized writing suits the needs of their students, and from the appropriate essays in the reader. As well, because the authors believe strongly that an effective composition textbook should address students directly, they've aimed for a conversational yet clear style that invites students into the book, lessens their apprehensions about writing, and provides a model for their own prose. This style complements the authors' strong student-based approach to writing, and together they help create a text that genuinely meets student needs.
