Horizons A Reader of Experiences

A combination thematic/rhetorical reader, Horizons best accommodates the needs of students in high-level developmental writing and low-level freshman composition courses. The dual focus on thematic readings and rhetorical styles ensures that students remain engaged as they practice narration, compare and contrast, cause and effect, and other modes of writing. Chapters 1 and 2 introduce the basics of reading and writing essays, as well as the rhetorical modes covered more fully in Chapters 3-10. A diverse set of reading selections from a variety of sources, such as magazines, literature, journals, e-zines, and newspapers, model different rhetorical modes. This reader's flexible organization also allows instructors to assign Chapters 3-10 in any order suitable to the requirements of their class.Houghton Mifflin Company Staff is the author of 'Horizons A Reader of Experiences', published 2004 under ISBN 9780618155699 and ISBN 0618155694.
