Description

Progressions helps students learn the characteristics of effective sentences, paragraphs, and essays; procedures for producing this writing; and applications their learning beyond the writing classroom.  

 

Geared toward improving developing competence and confidence, Progressions provides unusually extensive support for the student by specifically showing what to do in every step of the writing process. Students learn multiple strategies for working through every level of the writing process and are encouraged to develop their own effective writing processes.  Numerous exercises and activities (including collaborative activities), writing assignments, and suggested prewriting, editing, and revising strategies appear throughout the text. The book also offers instruction in reading and writing in response to reading.


Features

  • Three-in-one format includes a rhetoric, reader, and handbook for basic writers.
  • The paragraph is treated as a unit of composition, offering a manageable structure for students to hone their developing skills.
  • Detailed coverage of the writing process offers illustrations and explanations of many strategies for prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing helps students develop efficient writing processes.
  • An emphasis on editing strategies and sentence-level concerns provides basic writers ample opportunities to improve their editing skills.
  • An unsurpassed variety of exercises, including pre- and post-tests, collaborative activities, composing exercises, and whole and continuous discourse exercises provide flexibility for instructors and more than ample practice for students.
  • Sentence Skills Workshops in two chapters provide further editing practice, including editing for multiple errors in paragraphs
  • Revision checklists, Writing Process Tips, Considering Your Writing Process features, and Writing at the Computer sections provide heuristics and problem-solving suggestions in an easy-to-reference format.
  • Professional and student writing samples illustrate concepts and provide departure points for writing.
  • A student essay in progress in Chapters 1 and 2 helps students understand the need for multiple drafts and revision.
  • Pre- and post-tests for each grammar chapter, along with diagnostic self-assessment tests and comprehensive post tests for each grammar unit help students to assess their progress.
  • An appendix, “Ten Tips for ESL Writers,” offers easily referenced help for non-native speakers of English.
  • Frequently Asked Questions in the margins provide helpful tips and information.
  • Readings are arranged by rhetorical pattern to help students and teachers match professional readings to the rhetorical organization of the text. Post-reading questions focus on rhetorical strategies, with a new emphasis on mixing modes.

  • New To This Edition

    • New writing prompts with writing process tips offer a generous choice of topics, including topics that allow students to write in response to an image and topics that require students to combine rhetorical patterns.
    • Approximately one-third of the readings throughout the text are new.
    • Succeeding in College sections with writing prompts at the end of each chapter expand the focus on student success across the curriculum through demonstration of how chapter material applies to critical thinking, study skills, or writing in other disciplines.
    • Expanded coverage of the essay, including more on the thesis and a better student model.
    • More focus on mixing rhetorical patterns has been added, with one writing assignment in each modes chapter calling for a mix of modes, and questions after the professional readings note when modes are mixed.
    • Greater discussion of general and specific ideas, argumentation, transitions between paragraphs, subordination and coordination, and the writing process.
