Pearson - World is a Text, The: The Writing, Reading, and Thinking About Culture and Its Contexts, 2/E

In this section:

Description

For courses in First Year Composition, Cultural Studies, Popular Culture, and Semiotics.

The World is a Text is the most visual popular culture reader with the best coverage of writing.

When Jonathan Silverman and Dean Rader commuted together, they often discussed the possibilities and challenges of teaching popular culture and composition. Not only did they want their students to read diverse texts about popular culture, but also they wanted to equip them to engage with popular culture and with each other directly for the goal of better writing. The authors also envisioned more purposeful writing instruction in general in a popular culture reader. Out of those discussions and their own classroom practice came The World is a Text.

This cultural studies reader directly engages the process of reading and writing about the “texts” one sees in everyday life. The semiotic approach focuses on the relationship between reading traditional works–-such as essays and poems–-and other less-traditional ones–-such as movies, technology, race, ethnicity, television and public space. More importantly, the book teaches students the usefulness of learning to read actively their surroundings. The new edition features a greatly expanded section on writing, editing, and making arguments.

Features

How well does your reader relate to your students’ worlds?

~ The World is a Text engages students using eminently relevant subject matter to teach composition and cultural analysis.

New chapter, “Reading and Writing about Relationships”—Examines relationships as a text—full of all the codes, trappings, and intentions of any other kind of text. (See pages 592-627, also pages 612-625, The College Relationship Suite)

Themes from popular culture- Focuses exclusively on engaging, relevant themes such as movies, relationships, sports, music, race and gender to best connect with students’ direct experiences, facilitating critical thinking and cultural and visual analysis. (See TOC pages iv-x.)

Visual Orientation- More than 120 vibrant images, most in full color, serve as visual texts for student reaction, analysis and writing. (See examples pages 362-389, 431, 286, 466-488)

Companion Website- This innovative website encourages further engagement with the readings in the text and supports “reading the world” through directed field observations, group activities and experiments. (See www.prenhall.com/silverman .)

How extensively should a popular culture reader support writing and critical reading?

~The World is a Text now provides the best coverage of writing and critical reading in any popular culture reader.

Expanded section, "The World is a Text: Writing"- Includes thorough instruction in and examples of how to write about culture (See pages 19-62.)

Extensive writing prompts- “This Text: Reading” and “Your Text: Writing” at the end of each reading, and “Reading Outside the Lines” at the end of each chapter provide hundreds of opportunities for critical writing and reading and direct engagement of culture and classmates. (See pages 184, 306, 685.)

Semiotics approach- Accessible discussion of “signifiers” and “signified” equips students to directly engage the world as a text. Most readings draw on semiotics directly or indirectly as the means of analyzing and directly engaging popular culture. (See pages 3-15, 466-488, 382-395.)

Suites of readings- Each themed chapter includes a subset of several readings and images on the same topic, exposing students to multiple perspectives and encouraging writing from sources (See pages 612-625, The College Relationship Suite)

Diverse selections– Features varied readings that range from short pieces to funny pieces to longer, theoretical works to documented essays to student essays. (See pages 112-115, 276-278, 465-488, 580-583, 291-298, respectively.)

Student essay in every chapter- Presents models of the high quality of work that first-year students are capable of. An annotated student essay in "The World is a Text: Writing" provides a clear example of rhetoric and structure. (See Examples on pages 142 and 184)

What support would you like for teaching novel material?

~ The World is a Text provides the best instructor materials of any popular culture reader for lecture preparation and creating an actively engaged classroom.

New – Instructor’s Edition! The teaching manual is in the back of the instructor’s text. In the manual, each reading from the text has teaching tips and is carefully analyzed for easier and better instructor preparation. For every chapter, the authors have written “World Notes”- their personal advice on what strategies have worked best for them to teach the material in fun, meaningful ways. (See pages 779, 795, 807.)
