Structured Reading

Structured Reading
Using a highly effective approach, this book is based on the principle that readers improve their skills not by reading "about" reading, but rather by guided, hands-on experience "with" reading. Thirty core reading selections-include essays on road rage, coping with language barriers, Texas' Juneteenth celebration, death penalty victims, and crossing the border into the United States-are drawn from books, magazines, newspapers, and texts in various disciplines. They offer readers a diverse number of topics, interests them in the process of reading, and helps them develop their critical thinking, reading, and vocabulary. For anyone who wants to get more out of what they read.
Basic Writing
Framed by historic developments-from the Open Admissions movement of the 1960s and 1970s to the attacks on remediation that intensified in the 1990s and beyond-BASIC WRITING traces the arc of these large social and cultural forces as they have shaped and reshaped the field.

Essays on Classical Rhetoric and Modern Discourse
Eighteen essays by leading scholars in English, speech communication, education, and philosophy explore the vitality of the classical rhetorical tradition and its influence on both contemporary discourse studies and the teaching of writing. Some of the essays investigate theoretical and historical issues. Others show the bearing of classical rhetoric on contemporary problems in composition, thus blending theory and practice. Common to the varied approaches and viewpoints expressed in this volume is one central theme: the 20th-century revival of rhetoric entails a recovery of the classical tradition, with its marriage of a rich and fully articulated theory with an equally efficacious practice. A preface demonstrates the contribution of Edward P. J.Corbett to the 20th-century revival, and a last chapter includes a bibliography of his works.
