Process and Practice Guide for Developing Writers

Process and Practice balances process-oriented writing instruction with a traditional emphasis on grammar and correctness. Clear step-by-step discussions of paragraph and essay writing and the rhetorical patterns teach students how to organize their ideas while sample student and professional readings reflecting ethnically diverse perspectives illustrate rhetorical principles. The extensive grammar unit provides a wealth of grammar practice including sentence-combining exercises and diagnostic and review tests. This edition features expanded coverage of some of the latest ideas in composition including critical thinking, computers, and collaboration. ESL sections address problematic issues for non-native speakers.
