Patterns for college writing: a rhetorical reader and guide
1998
Abstract
Bestselling authors Laurie Kirszner and Stephen Mandell know that the composition classroom is evolving and how to keep up with those changes. Patterns for College Writing makes sure composition remains accessible for students--and teachable for new and experienced instructors alike. Patterns provide students with the best rhetorical models and well-balanced essays, updated to include diverse and contemporary viewpoints alongside plenty of enduring classics. The book begins with a five-chapter mini-rhetoric that covers active reading, research, and the writing process, followed by clear and thorough explanations of the patterns of development. Each pattern is accompanied by an example of student writing, a visual text, a batch of thought-provoking and entertaining readings, and thorough apparatus.
