College Writing Resources, Annotated Instructor’s Edition
Elizabeth C. Long
A COMPLETE RESOURCE FOR YOUR WRITING COURSE!
College Writing Resources provides strong, clear writing instruction guiding students in the process of composing essays in a variety of modes and an unsurpassed amount of exercises.
Betsy Long’s highly-praised writing framework, the Four Cs, is integrated into each chapter, showing students how to check their work for the elements of good writing at every stage of development. An appealing four-color design showcases the photos and adds visual interest for an increasingly visual student body. Each chapter begins with a cultural note that not only builds cultural literacy but provides the context for the chapter’s samples essays and exercises. A separate companion lab manual supplementing each chapter with additional practice is available in print in a package or online.
