NEW Chapter 1, Understanding Yourself as a Writer , helps students see themselves as writers and prepares them to engage with the writing processes that work for them. Emphasizing reflection, transfer, and the rhetorical situation, this chapter connects the key concepts of Part 1 to the first assignment chapter, Writing to Reflect, and in-depth support for writing process later in the book. A new scenario follows the path of student writers through their composition course, showing how students develop inquiry and reflection skills. More sophisticated academic readings . Each assignment chapter now has 4 readings, offering a balance of complex academic pieces and real-world genres. Eighteen engaging new readings include a profile on African-American ballerina Misty Copeland (Writing to Inform) a Rolling Stone music review (Writing to Evaluate) a literacy narrative showing one writer's development from almost dropping out of high school to award-winning novelist (Writing to Reflect) a student-written proposal for a campus bike share (Writing to Solve Problems) Expanded "Starting a Conversation" questions about each selection address critical reading and reflection more prominently. Expanded chapter on fieldwork. This new research chapter covers topics with real relevance to students, such as the ethics of taking photos in public. Genre Talk, an engaging bridge between the book and LaunchPad. To help students check their understanding of genre, the online activity asks them to examine documents on provocative topics, such as child slavery in the cocoa industry or the global immigration crisis, and complete auto-graded activities to test their understanding of purpose, genre, design, and context. Expanded Assessment Options and new Activities in LaunchPad In addition to the Genre Talk activities mentioned above, LaunchPad for Joining the Conversation also includes customizable, autoscored reading quizzes for every reading selection ; diagnostic quizzes; an expanded set of LearningCurve adaptive quizzing activities on grammar, argument, source documentation, and other topics; and Exercise Central, a bank of searchable and customizable grammar, punctuation, style, writing, and research exercises
Synopsis
Don't let writer's block get the best of you. Joining the Conversation encourages you as a writer with smart and friendly advice applicable for any type of academic or professional writing.

    I just received my concert ticket from the seller, and it was shipped immediately, packaged carefully, and was even better than described, even though it is 37 years old. A very fair price was negotiated, and I would recommend this seller to anyone. Thank you!
