After shaking up writing classrooms at more than 450 colleges and universities, Understanding Rhetoric, the comic-style guide to writing that instructors have told us gets "nothing but positive responses from students," has returned for a second edition! Combining the composition know-how of Liz Losh and Jonathan Alexander with the comic-art credibility of Kevin Cannon (Far Arden, Crater XV) and Zander Cannon (Heck, Kaijumax), Understanding Rhetoric encourages deep engagement with core concepts of writing and rhetoric, as teachers and students alike have told us. With a new chapter on collaboration, unique coverage of writerly identity, and extensive discussions of rhetoric, reading, argument, research, revision, and presenting work to audiences, the one and only composition comic covers what students need to know—and does so with fun and flair. A new "Walk the Talk" feature in each chapter helps students see how to put concepts to use in their own reading and writing. And the detailed instructor’s manual will help both novice and experienced instructors plan a course around Understanding Rhetoric
Features
Plentiful instructor support. An instructor’s manual offers advice from Liz Losh and Jonathan Alexander, as well as Jasmine Lee, and Keith McCleary, two instructors with experience teaching with Understanding Rhetoric. This heavily revised and expanded resource offers detailed advice for structuring a course using Understanding Rhetoric, support for instructors teaching with comics for the first time, and a robust set of assignment ideas and class activities, with additional resources available on the Macmillan Community
New to This Edition
A new “Walk the Talk” game-board spread in every chapter guides students through concrete strategies for putting the chapter’s concepts to work.
A completely new chapter on collaboration, “Composing Together,” identifies purposes and strategies for working with others—tackling problems, sharing research and writing tasks, and offering constructive criticism.
A new approach to the chapter on writerly identity addresses issues of self-presentation in various kinds of texts. The all-new ReFrame accompanying this chapter follows student characters as they approach a digital ethnography assignment.
Updated coverage of library research in the revised “Wrong Turns or Shortcuts” ReFrame expands attention to evaluating sources and helps students learn to make effective choices about credible sources.
