Features

A practical and proven text on academic writing. Coverage of current practices in academic writing introduces students to core intellectual and rhetorical moves—from habits of academic thinking and critical reading to drafting and developing a researched argument. Each carefully structured chapter reinforces instruction with unique step-by-step checklists and skill-by-skill practice sequences.

Current examples of academic writing that will engage, challenge, and enlighten students. Academic writing can be difficult and demanding; Greene and Lidinsky have a gift for finding thoughtful, well-researched, carefully argued, and thoroughly documented academic essays. Fascinating topics, imaginative use of research and evidence, and surprising insights and conclusions maintain student interest. Examples throughout the text include student essays annotated to highlight the effective practice of academic writing habits and skills.

Effective editorial apparatus that reinforces academic habits of thinking, reading, and writing. Selection headnotes provide biographical and contextual information and many practice sequences encourage students to dig deeper into readings and draw connections between readings and to the chapter discussion.

Thorough and helpful support for teachers. Resources for Teaching includes help for instructors new to the book’s approach to academic writing, with sample syllabi for planning the course, detailed discussions of every reading, suggested responses or answers to the various assignments, and additional teaching tips, both specific to the book and general to the composition classroom.

New to This Edition

Readings that represent the latest in interdisciplinary cultural research and analysis. Greene and Lidinsky examined a range of academic journals and general interest publications, then curated examples of writings that will resonate with students and work in the classroom.

New writers and readings include the following:

  • Professor Laurie Ouilette examines why corporate social responsibility has emerged in recent years in "Citizen Brand: ABC and the Do Good Turn in US Television."
  • Journalist Tom Standage connects modern social media platforms with the pamphlets and coffee houses of the past, arguing that the shortcomings and potential of social platforms as agents for change are much the same as they have been throughout history in "History Retweets itself."
  • Social activist Paul Rogat Loeb argues that connecting to others through civic participation and working for the common good is what makes us more fully human in "Making Our Lives Count."

New emphasis on reflection. Chapter 1 now offers a series of key reflection prompts to help students take control of their learning.

More support for critical reading and analysis, including multimodal texts. Chapter 4 on analyzing arguments helps students read critically and detect causal and definition claims. New Chapter 10 guides students through a step-by-step analysis of visuals they are likely to encounter in multimodal texts and helps them apply that thinking to their own multimodal projects.

New advice on summarizing. The authors now discuss summary in greater detail and in a new Chapter 3 to give students a solid foundation in this academic skill.

Extended coverage of synthesizing sources. Chapter 8 uses new readings focused on civic engagement to help students grasp the process and value of successfully synthesizing sources.
