Publisher's Synopsis
For first-year courses in Composition/Rhetoric.
Successful strategies for civil writing With ample material for a full-year composition course, Revel Strategies for Successful Writing, 12th Edition supports students as they learn to compose in the rhetorical modes. Diverse examples demonstrate writing concepts and strategies, so students can recognize them more easily in the longer reading selections and apply them in their own compositions.
Instruction is brief and to the point, allowing students to spend more time writing and less time reading about writing. The authors' conversational yet concise approach invites students into the book, reducing their apprehensions about writing and providing a model for their own prose. The 12th Edition stresses the importance and characteristics of civil writing -- addressing the growing cultural challenges posed by social media and the increasingly hostile discourse in many media. This edition also increases emphasis on visual rhetoric and multimedia approaches to writing and texts.
