Writing: Ten Core Concepts

Robert P. Yagelski’s WRITING: TEN CORE CONCEPTS is based on ten fundamental lessons — the core concepts — that students must learn to become effective writers. The thorough integration of these core concepts and the space devoted to guiding students through the main composing assignments distinguishes this book from all other writing guides. The text introduces students to the key rhetorical moves of three essential aims of writing (analysis, argument, and narrative) and then offers applied assignment chapters that use the ten core concepts to guide students’ thinking and writing. Emphasizing writing as an interaction between a writer and a reader, WRITING: TEN CORE CONCEPTS offers students a way to participate in the important conversations that shape our lives. The second edition includes 21 new readings, new strategies for academic reading, a new section on summary-response essays, updated guidance on finding digital resources and on MLA documentation, and more.Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.Additional ISBNs: 9781337634403, 1337634409, 9781337517706, 1337517704
