Synopsis
Writing process covered inEVERYchapter. Focus on the writing process throughout the book, not just as an added element but as an integral part of the literary study. This allows students to improve their writing while enjoying the study of literature. Chapter 4: Researched Writinghas been revised and moved to the front of the book. The chapter now follows the initial chapters on the writing process and provides easy-to-follow instruction for planning, researching, and documenting a paper using secondary sources, including a detailed description of the MLA Style for citing and crediting these sources. The chapter also contains a new documented student essay and is generously supplemented by Ideas for Researched Writing throughout the book Seven sample student papers, some with drafts, instructor or peer comments and prewriting materials, that illustrate how to write about each genre and how to do researched writing. Students can see and understand how to go about devising and drafting their essays; they profit from seeing the writing process illustrated at every stage. Three kinds of writing prompts included in each chapter allow instructors to choose among them flexibly depending on his or her goals and philosophy. The single text for class saves them money and is convenient., For Introductory Literature and Composition classes. By combining the elements of a literature anthology with those of a handbook, Literature and the Writing Process guides students through the interrelated process of analytical reading and critical writing. Throughout decades of combined teaching and writing experience the authors of LIterature and the Writing Process have held to a simple premise: great literature is always thought-provoking, always new; why not utilize it to sharpen critical thinking and improve writing skills? Grown out of this long-standing interest in the possibility of integrating the study of literature with the practice of composition, Literature and the Writing Process has become a unique and time-tested staple in literature and composition classes. By seamlessly integrating literature and composition into one multi-purpose text, this approach serves the dual process of enabling students to enjoy, understand, and learn from imaginative literature; and to help them write clearly, intelligently, and correctly about what they have learned.
