Writing for Life ,Paragraph to Essay 2008 publication

Writing for Life: Paragraph to Essayis a textbook that provides more than enough resources to serve as a rock-solid base for the writing classroom. It is a text so comprehensively thorough that it can leave an instructor with little preparation needed other than to flip through the pages on the way to class. As all teachers know, the right textbook will provide the foundation from which we build our courses. They play a central role in our classrooms and are powerful stimuli for generating learning (Rubdy, 2003, p. 38). This is one of those rare texts that provide just as much foundation and structure for the teacher leading a class as it does instruction and stimuli for students attending that class.
