This product accompanies:
Johnson,  Global Issues, Local Arguments: Readings for Writing, 2/E

• High-interest readings explore and argue nine of today’s global issues, requiring students to investigate problems they likely have not previously considered.  Readings are balanced in terms of political perspective, length, level, and genre and appeal to students with diverse academic interests and majors.
• Students must practice and strengthen critical thinking skills in order to examine the background and big picture of an issue, engage multiple perspectives, consider the ways these positions are defended by invested stakeholders, and synthesize salient points into their own arguments.
• Argument is presented as a method of inquiry and problem-solving as well as a means of persuasion:
  • For Class Discussion questions after each reading ask students to locate the argument’s rhetorical strategies.
  • Chapter Questions for Reflection and Discussion at the end of each chapter asks students to generate inter-textual connections.
• Well-crafted, specific, and substantial apparatus at the end of each chapter offers a range of writing opportunities:
• Brief Writing Assignments present pre-writing ideas and writing-to-learn suggestions that prepare students for longer essays and arguments.
• Writing Projects promote longer and more formal analysis and synthesis essays, arguments using different types of claims, and researched arguments.
• Writing is shown to be an active, productive instrument that can build communities and bring about change:
• Possible Writing Projects at the end of each chapter promote involvement in the community by emphasizing students’ roles as citizens, voters, and consumers.
• Chapter Introductions encourage students to connect personally with an important global issue.  Each chapter opens situating the consequence of a global concern in a local community and asks students to consider the ways that local decisions fuel global concerns.
• Student Voice, a short and experiential student-authored piece, shows a student’s personal connection to the issue.
• International Voice and Global Hot Spot both personalize a global issue by using a particular person, family, or community as a brief case study.
• Global Issues, Local Arguments: Readings for Writing provides extensive assistance for teachers and students exploring new content areas and includes a Glossary, lists of related documentary and fictional films, a world map, and a generous bibliography.

  Global Issues, Local Arguments: Readings for Writing features high-interest arguments on significant global issues and emphasizes their connection to students’ lives–all the while developing critical thinking, rhetorical, analysis, synthesis, argumentation, and research skills.

   

  The first argument reader of its kind, Global Issues, Local Arguments: Readings for Writing provides an introduction to analyzing and writing arguments and explores oppositional and nuanced points of view on issues pertaining to globalization: Free Trade, Global Finance and Outsourcing, Immigration, Culture, Water Rights, Alternative Energy Resources, the Global Food Supply, and Human Rights.  Students are asked to make connections between local actions and global issues so that they start to understand how writing can be a tool for learning and an agent of change–relevant and effective both inside and outside of academe.

   

  Conscientious, specific, and plentiful pedagogy introduces each issue, follows each reading, and concludes each chapter, continually asking students to break down and compare rhetorical argument strategies in use.  Thoughtful writing prompts build from brief, informal writing assignments toward more comprehensive and formal rhetorical analyses and researched arguments.

  Global Issues, Local Arguments: Readings for Writing
  Johnson
  ©2007 | Longman | Paper; 608 pp | Instock
  ISBN-10: 0321244230 | ISBN-13: 9780321244239
  Suggested retail price: $64.00  Net price: $48.00  (What's this?)Brief Description

  

  Global Issues, Local Arguments: Readings for Writing features high-interest arguments on significant global issues and emphasizes their connection to students’ lives while developing critical thinking, analysis, synthesis, argumentation, and research skills.

   

  The first argument reader of its kind, Global Issues, Local Arguments: Readings for Writing explores oppositional and nuanced points of view within issues pertaining to globalization: Free Trade, Employment Outsourcing, Immigration, Culture, the Sex Trade, Child Labor, Water Rights, Climate Change, Global Food Supply, and Global Health.  Students are asked to make connections between local actions and global issues so that they start to understand how writing can be a tool for learning and an agent of change—relevant and strong both inside and outside of academe. 

   

  Conscientious, specific, and plentiful pedagogy introduces each issue, follows each reading, and concludes each chapter, continually asking students to break down and compare rhetorical argument strategies in use.  Thoughtful writing prompts build from brief, informal writing assignments toward more comprehensive and formal researched arguments.

  Offering concise yet thorough treatment of academic reading and writing in college, Reading Rhetorically, Brief Edition shows students how to analyze texts by recognizing rhetorical strategies and genre conventions, and how to incorporate other writers’ texts into their own research-based papers.

   

  Three important features distinguish this text from others: (1) its emphasis on reading as an interactive process of composing meaning, (2) its emphasis on academic writing as a process in which writers engage with other texts, and (3) its analytical framework for understanding and critiquing how visual texts interact with verbal texts.  This brief rhetoric teaches students how to see texts positioned in a conversation with other texts, how to recognize perspective and bias, and how to analyze texts both for content and method.
