First-Year Composition - Rhetoric (Composition)

In this section:

Description

This brief rhetoric focuses on the key strategies that any academic writer needs to know -- summary, synthesis, analysis, and critique.

Building off of the hallmark writing instruction of the best-selling Writing and Reading Across the Curriculum, this writing guide focuses on the critical reading and writing strategies that students need in order to thoughtfully interpret and incorporate source material into their own papers. The text employs high-interest readings from a range of disciplines to allow students to practice these strategies and skills, while numerous student papers model the kinds of academic texts students are expected to produce.

Features

· Practical advice (Chapters 3 and 4) for academic writing focuses on such essential skills as summary, paraphrase, quotation, critique, synthesis, and analysis.

· Thorough coverage of critical reading and critique (Chapter 2) shows students how to evaluate and respond to source material.

· Two chapters discuss the explanatory synthesis and the argument synthesis to cover the most common types of academic papers.

· Concise but complete coverage of the writing process (Chapter 6) emphasizes the recursive processes of drafting and revising and the importance of refining or rethinking one's thesis as the paper develops.

· Six annotated student papers in various draft stages model the development of key writing skills.

· More than 35 timely, challenging readings on compelling topics throughout the book allow students to practice newly learned skills.

· Chapter 7, “Locating, Mining, and Citing Sources” discusses research and documentation strategies, and Chapter 4, “Argument Synthesis” has a model of a documented paper.

New To This Edition

· The Fourth Edition represents a major revision with freshened examples and models that clarify and expand instruction, and generally make the text more adaptable and accessible, helping students create source-based writing in a variety of academic settings.

· Chapter 9 (Practicing Academic Writing) has a new focus, “The Changing Landscape of Work in the 21^st Century,” exploring developments that economists, educators, policy analysts, and investigative reporters believe will affect the workplace that students will enter in the coming decades.

· Chapter 1 (Summary) features a new model summary of an article by economist Alan Blinder, “Will Your Job be Exported?” and a new summarizing figures and tables section focusing on the world’s dwindling supply of oil.

· Chapter 2 (Critique) includes a new model critique by a student columnist for NYU’s Washington Square News entitled “The Common App[lication] Fallacy”

· Chapter 3 (Explanatory Synthesis) includes a new argument synthesis: “Balancing Privacy and Safety in the Wake of Virginia Tech” and an updated model paper focusing on the advantage of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

· Chapter 4 (Argument Synthesis) features a new section “the Limits of Argument” dealing with the kinds of topics that are not well suited for argument syntheses in first-year writing courses.

· Chapter 5 (Analysis) includes a new section, “When Your Perspective Guides the Analysis,” highlighting an alternative, more personal approach to analysis than the type based on formal principles and definitions.

· Chapter 6 (Writing as a Process) includes new examples of introductions and conclusions.

· Chapter 7 (Locating, Mining, and Citing Sources) now includes MLA formats for citing online databases, podcasts, blogs and wikis–with an expanded discussion and warning about wikis. APA’s updated (June 2007) guidelines for citing electronic sources are also included.
