The best-selling Models for Writers continues to offer thought-provoking readings organized to demonstrate not only the rhetorical patterns that students will use in their own essays but also the elements and language that will make those essays effective—important coverage you won’t find in other readers. Also unique to Models is its versatility and flexibility: it works in a wide range of courses and at various levels. This edition offers a number of new classroom activities that address professional and academic writing—getting students examining and practicing with the kinds of writing they will be doing in college and beyond. The new edition also includes helpful new strategies for developing a strong thesis statement, expanded coverage of logical fallacies, entirely new coverage of APA documentation, and online multimodal readings and tutorials on critical reading and other essential topics.
