English

This classic rhetoric has taught thousands of students to write clearer, more eloquent prose through practice.

Teeming with exercises, The Writer's Options encourages students to investigate their writing “options” through sentence-combining to create more sophisticated, more effective constructions. This edition brings new Preview sections at the beginning of each lesson, to give students guideposts as to what they will learn in the lesson. More than 25% of the examples and exercises are new, and like the previous editions, they reflect appealing, interesting themes often in a lighthearted vein.

• Classic writing guide uses sentence-combining exercises within a rhetorical context to teach students how to master the conventions of grammar and compound/complex sentence constructions.

• An introduction to the writing process—including prewriting techniques, drafting, and peer collaboration—is featured at the front of the text, putting the emphasis on students' writing.

• Part II offers a review of sentence parts and how they can be varied. The text covers sentence-level matters of style—coherence, tone, and emphasis.

• Appealing and accessible examples and exercises were chosen specifically to be relevant to today's students.

• Expanded coverage of audience and tone provides more rhetorical context for text discussions.

• New! Includes fresh and updated examples throughout the text.

• New! Overview sections begin each unit—providing students with a preview of the unit.

• New! Increased coverage of tone.

• TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGE—The Longman Writer's Warehouse available free when packaged with this text.

  The Writer's Options encourages students to investigate their writing “options” through sentence-combining and rearrangement to create more sophisticated, more effective compositions.

   

  This classic rhetoric has taught thousands of students to write clearer, more eloquent prose.  Teeming with exercises, The Writer's Options affords students ample practice with arranging and rearranging sentences, paragraphs, and essays as a means of strengthening writing. The authors first introduce the writing process, they then move to style and revising sentences, and they culminate with rearrangement and revising whole documents.
