The Call to Write - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

As a highly successful first edition rhetoric, The Call to Write, Second Edition, is organized by the genres of writing and is grounded in the reality of student's lives. Organized by genres, The Call to Write gives students the practice they need to write both in college and in the public sphere. This text connects writing to the real worlds of everyday life, college, and work, giving students reasons to write and the skills to help them succeed. A strong emphasis on public writing promotes civic involvement through writing- to inform the public, to shape opinion, to advocate change, etc.- while relevant, provocative readings underscore when and why citizens are called to write. The Second Edition retains the best features of the first edition while expanding the coverage of multimedia and adding an additional genre chapter on brochures and web sites. This hardcover version, also, includes a grammar handbook.
