Longwood Guide to Writing

Reflecting the authors' fifty years of combined teaching experience, The Longwood Guide to Writing is among the most accessible, up-to-date, and authoritative aims-based rhetorics on the market. This guide introduces readers to all phases of the writing process and then provides " writing occasions" -- projects that encourage the reader to practice what they've learned and improve their own writing. The " occasions" include writing personal essays, informative and evaluative essays, essays from and about literature, and position, persuasive, and problem/solution essays. Each of these core writing chapters features five to seven professional readings, discusses the rhetorical triangle, and follows a student through their writing process. Students also learn effective ways to conduct research, write with sources, take essay exams, and create portfolios. Ideal for individuals interested in gaining a practical understanding of the writing process.Lunsford, Ronald F. is the author of 'Longwood Guide to Writing', published 2001 under ISBN 9780321091123 and ISBN 0321091124.
