Publisher's Synopsis
For developmental writing courses or first-semester freshman writing courses.
The Simon & Schuster Short Prose Reader is a process-oriented Rhetorical Reader. It combines high-interest reading material with creative, principled pedagogy and traditional concerns about correctness, coherence, and meaning. Short, appealing essays provide ideas for writing, suggest ways to approach a topic, and illustrate methods for organizing and presenting information. Each reading is accompanied by a "Step-by-Step" writing assignment that guides students in composing their own essays.
