Publisher's Synopsis
For first-semester Freshman Composition courses where instructors want to emphasize the writing process and purpose and want consistency in their first -year writing program.
As the composition coordinator at Colorado State University, Stephen Reid found that both his students and his instructors struggled with their textbook. The constant flipping around required in most writing guides made it difficult for students to follow along and difficult for instructors to teach. As a result, Stephen Reid created his market-leading writing guide, which integrates purpose, process, audience, and rhetorical strategies into every chapter-ending the flipping back and forth and offering a seamless presentation. Its well-thought organization and interesting readings make it the ideal text for teaching first-year composition. Available in hardback version or in paperback version without handbook.
