This edition has been updated to include over two dozen new readings, a four-part questioning strategy that follows each entry, expanded descriptions of the writing process to include thesis statements and outlines, sample student essays, a sample MLA-documented essay, materials on social issues, new visuals, expanded coverage on analyzing media, critiques of how writers use more than one method of development, and information on writing beyond the classroom. Connelly (Milwaukee Area Technical College) works thematically, focusing on the writing context and process, critical reading, narration, description, definition, comparison and contrast, analysis, division and classification, process, cause and effect, argument and persuasion. Along with a range of worthy readings, Connelly provides useful samples of writing students can analyze and many tips on organizing ideas and getting them down on paper. The result would work in survey literature and composition undergraduate courses.
