- Synopsis
- A Brief Guide to Writing from Readings teaches students how to write the most common papers assigned in college courses: source-based essays that summarize, analyze, critique, and synthesize. Comprehensive enough to serve as a primary text yet compact enough to serve as a supplement, this clear and concise writing guide teaches students how to critically read, clearly summarize, carefully respond to, and accurately quote or paraphrase texts. A Brief Guide to Writing from Readings, Fourth Edition, is a valuable teaching and reference tool that students of many disciplines will find useful for course work and for independent study. This text is an excellent teaching tool and reference guide to the most widely used documentation styles. NEW TO THIS EDITION ยท A new chapter, "Argumentative Synthesis" (Chapter 10), expands coverage of the definition and elements of an argument, including claims, grounds, and warrants. A new chapter, "Rhetorical Analysis" (Chapter 8), reinforces the rhetorical concepts, habituates students to reading and writing rhetorically, and features a rhetorical analysis of President Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address. An expanded chapter on response essays (Chapter 6) includes suggestions for writing thesis statements ("openings") and concluding paragraphs ("closings"), and features sample essays. Two new Appendices, "Peer Review Guidelines" and "Revision Guidelines," offer brief action steps for which A Brief Guide is well known.
