Patterns for College Writing
A Rhetorical Reader and Guide
Sixteenth Edition| ©2024
Laurie G. Kirszner; Stephen R. Mandell
Bestselling authors Laurie Kirszner and Stephen Mandell know that the composition classroom is evolving and how to keep up with those changes. Patterns for College Writing makes sure composition remains accessible for students--and teachable for new and experienced instructors alike. Patterns provide students with the best rhetorical models and well-balanced essays, updated to include diverse and contemporary viewpoints alongside plenty of enduring classics. The book begins with a five-chapter mini-rhetoric that covers active reading, research, and the writing process, followed by clear and thorough explanations of the patterns of development. Each pattern is accompanied by an example of student writing, a visual text, a batch of thought-provoking and entertaining readings, and thorough apparatus. The new edition adds more support for student success, new coverage on selecting sources, and engaging new readings.

Habits of the Creative Mind
Third Edition| ©2024
Richard E. Miller; Ann Jurecic
A unique resource for first-year composition, Habits of the Creative Mind encourages college writers to be curious and follow their own paths in order to discover their own interests. Portable and flexibly arranged, the third edition of this innovative text offers frameworks to develop persistence in planning, revising, and learning from failure, with all new examples of writers at work on interesting problems as models for reflection.
