Guide to College Writing, A

By Chris M. Anson

KEY BENEFIT A Guide to College Writing is both an excellent introduction to college writing for composition courses that emphasize writing across the curriculum (WAC), and a writing guide for use in any setting. The author does not teach any one form, but rather how to observe, analyze, and reproduce the forms and intellectual strategies of whatever the readers might be asked to read and write. Readers are walked through the writing process, beginning with shorter, lower-stakes "microtheme" assignments and scaffolding toward longer, sustained formal projects typical of their discipline. Throughout, readers learn how to use writing as a learning tool. KEY TOPICS Writing Across the Curriculum-and Why You Should Care; Low-Stakes Writing and Why Should You Take It Seriously; Microthemes and Why They're So Powerful as Tools for Learning; Higher-Stakes Projects: Getting from Ideas to Text; It's All About Revision; In Search of Research; The Comparative Anatomy of Texts and Contexts. MARKET
For anyone interested in improving writing skills.
