Each of the book s 8 assignment chapters includes a specific guide to reading that challenges students to analyze the authors techniques as well as a step-by-step guide to writing and revising that helps them apply these techniques to their own essays.

Accessible instruction, engaging readings, and effective writing assignments make Reading Critically, Writing Well ideal for instructors who want the support and readings to demonstrate effective rhetorical choices that students can make in their own writing."
