At a Glance: Essays - Tapa blanda

"The writing exercises and the suggested topics are a strength of this series. The exercises concerning the identification of types of sentences were most helpful for my students. My students find the suggested topics most helpful as they are generic enough to allow individual interpretation." "At a Glance "is easy to follow and understand and because of this, some of the fear of writing can be eliminated."

Fresh, vibrant, concise, and affordable, the Fifth Edition of AT A GLANCE: ESSAYS focuses on writing correct, effective essays in specific and combined rhetorical patterns, and features the writing process with emphasis on revision; twenty-one integrated professional and student essays verified by classroom testing to compel reading, provoke discussion, and inspire writing; a handbook chapter supported by a strong Student Companion Site; documented writing (two chapters) with the 2009 MLA Update and an illustrated ten-step approach; optional reading-based writing of summaries, reactions, and two-part responses (to promote critical thinking by linking reading to writing); and optional career-related writing to accommodate career-minded students and career-conscious programs.
