Synopsis
College Writing Skills with Readings, Third Canadian Edition will help students master the traditional five-paragraph essay and variations on this essay structure. It is a very practical book with a number of special features to aid instructors and their students. Four principles are presented as keys to effective writing -- unity, support, coherence, and effective sentence skills. Activities and assignments are numerous and varied; nearly two hundred activities and tests are included. The emphasis on logic and the pursuit of ideas and explanations in a sequential manner starts in the first chapter. Students are introduced to the two principles that are the bases of clear thinking and writing: making a point and providing support to back up that point. Each section of the book deals with a distinct aspect of writing. Instructors can therefore turn quickly and easily to the skills they want to present.Book Details
