Writing and Reading Across the Curriculum (10th Edition)

This rhetoric and reader guides the reader through the essential college-level writing skills of summary, critique, synthesis, and analysis, and offers a focused opportunity for practicing these skills.

Many of the readings are also interesting and productive, especially those on Folklore and Obedience to Authority. I'd teach it in combination with a course reader, though, since there's almost no attention to the process of helping students find their voice and write more beautiful prose.

But no one book can do everything, and I plan to keep teaching this one. My students like it too -- with its focus on arguable ideas and the wonderful step-by-step breakdown of the writing process.

I have used this book in about six classes and it has come in handy several times when writing research papers in both MLA and APA citations.

I was very impressed as to how quickly I received my book. The added cost for express mail was worth it. I ordered Saturday and had the book by Wednesday.
