  Mosaics: Focusing on Paragraphs in Context illustrates how the companion skills of reading and writing are parts of a larger, interrelated process that moves back and forth through the tasks of pre-reading and reading, prewriting and writing, and revising and editing.

   

  Experience tells us that students have the best chance of succeeding in college if they learn how to respond productively to the varying academic demands made on them throughout the curriculum. One extremely important part of this process is being able to analyze ideas and think critically about issues in many different subject areas. Mosaics: Focusing on Paragraphs in Context encourages students to discover how the “mosaics” of their own reading and writing processes work together to form a coherent whole. By demonstrating the interrelationship among thinking, reading, and writing on progressively more difficulty levels, Mosaics promises to help prepare students for success in college throughout the curriculum.

  Brief Description

  

  MyWritingLab is a market-leading online learning system, built around the needs of low-literacy students, that provides diagnostic assessment, progress tracking, and progressive exercise sets to help advance students from literal comprehension, to critical application, to demonstrating skills in their own writing.  In short, MyWritingLab saves time and improves results.
  

  
  

  How does MyWritingLab help students become better writers?

  • Diagnostic Testing: MyWritingLab's diagnostic test comprehensively assesses student skills in grammar. Students are given an individualized study plan based on the diagnostic's results, identifying the modules in areas where they most need help.
  • Progressive Learning: The heart of MyWritingLab is the progressive exercise sets within each topic.  Students move from literal comprehension (Recall) to critical comprehension (Apply) to demonstrating concepts to their own writing (Write). This progression of critical thinking, not available in any other online resource, enables students to transfer their skill into their own writing.
  • Comprehensive Progress Tracking: All student work in MyWritingLab is captured in the MyWritingLab Gradebook. Students can monitor their own progress, and instructors can track the progress of their entire class in this flexible and easy-to-use tool.

  MyWritingLab also includes the following resources, which will further help your students become stronger writers!

  • Pearson Tutor Services, (powered by SMARTHINKING): Offering students full time support in their writing efforts, SmarThinking is an online tutoring service that provides students with paper review 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  What do your students want in a textbook?

   

  Your life’s work is centered on connecting to your students and preparing them for productive futures. Pamela Arlov created the Wordsmith series to help you connect with your students. We asked professors what they thought their students would want in a textbook. Here’s what we heard and how Wordsmith addresses today’s students:

   

  1)       Students find textbooks dry and tedious. Arlov includes engaging grammar openers, plenty of visuals, and has a writing style that is second to none!

   

  2)       Students find textbooks irrelevant to their lives. Arlov’s combination of the rhetorical modes is realistic and models real life writing. She has also added “Real Writing” examples in the modes chapters to make Wordsmith even more relevant to students’ lives.

   

  3)       Students become frustrated if the entire text is not used in class. Wordsmith is 100 pages briefer than similar texts on the market and an affordable option. This concise approach also does not overwhelm students with too much information. Wordsmith provides students with just the right balance of instruction and practice!

   

  The Wordsmith series is your value-packed option that students will appreciate while mastering key writing and grammar skills.

  Writer's World, The: Sentences and Paragraphs (Book Alone)
  Gaetz & Phadke

  ISBN-10: 0131830414 | ISBN-13: 9780131830417
  Suggested retail price: $86.60  Net price: $64.95  (What's this?)Brief Description

  

  The Writer’s World addresses the diverse needs of your students by meeting the needs of nonnative English speakers, visual learners and students with varying skill levels!

  What are the diverse needs of your students? Do you have students with varying skill levels? Do you have nonnative English speakers in your courses? How many of your students are visual learners? Lynne Gaetz and Suneeti Phadke put their classroom teaching experience to use by writing The Writer’s World for you and your students. This ground breaking developmental writing series was written and designed from the ground up to address the greatest teaching challenges and the diverse needs of today’s students.

   

  Nonnative English Speakers:

  The Writer’s World helps instructors meet the needs of the nonnative English speakers in their class better than any other text on the market. Gaetz and Phadke have extensive experience teaching ESL courses. They believe “ESL material” can benefit all students. Therefore, there are no references to ESL or nonnative English speakers in the student text. The material is seamlessly integrated into the student text for maximum benefit. The Annotated Instructor’s Edition also includes over 75 ESL Teaching Tips. 

   

  Visual Learners:

  With a contemporary, open design, over 60 images and additional tables, charts, and graphs, The Writer’s World supports visual learners like no other text. Many chapter-opening photos are linked to concepts to help students retain key information. The Visualizing Writing CD-Rom, included in every copy of The Writer’s World, features 55 audio and animated “mini-lectures” on key writing and grammar topics. These mini-lectures help engage visual and audio learners by providing pertinent information in additional format.

   

  Varying Skill Level:

  The authors address students' varying skill-levels in the clarity of explanations and with the numerous practice exercises to help students master their individual areas of weakness. In addition, thematic grammar chapters make the material more engaging. And with grammar, more engaging often means more effective, allowing students to retain more of the key building blocks to becoming better writers.

   

  The Writer’s World addresses the diverse needs of your students!
