Full Description
Literature and the Writing Process Backpack Edition combines the best elements of a literature anthology with those of a handbook to guide students through the interrelated process of analytical reading and critical writing.
Text writing assignments use literature as a tool of critical thought, a method for analysis, and a way of communicating ideas. This approach emphasizes writing as the focus of the book with literature as the means to write effectively. A two-part organization combines a literary anthology with composition instruction so students have everything they need at their fingertips. Some of the key features include:
- Writing Process in every chapter. The book reinforces writing process from prewriting, writing, ideas for writing, and rewriting in every chapter.
- Affordable, smaller format of our popular Literature and the Writing Process.
- Expanded argument writing coverage (Ch. 3) offers more support for improving writing skills.
- Up-to-Date MLA coverage reflects the most current guidelines from the Modern Language Association.
