Abstract:
Writing is often a challenge. If you were ever challenged to express yourself via the written word, this book is for
you.
Writing for Success is a text that provides instruction in steps, builds writing, reading, and critical thinking, and
combines comprehensive grammar review with an introduction to paragraph writing and composition.
Beginning with the sentence and its essential elements, this book addresses each concept with clear, concise, and
effective examples that are immediately reinforced with exercises and opportunities to demonstrate learning.
Each chapter allows students to demonstrate mastery of the principles of quality writing. With its incremental
approach, this book can address a range of writing levels and abilities, helping each student prepare for the next
writing or university course. Constant reinforcement is provided through examples and exercises, and the text
involves students in the learning process through reading, problem solving, practicing, listening, and experiencing
the writing process.
Each chapter also has integrated examples that unify the discussion and form a common, easy-to-understand basis
for discussion and exploration. This will put students at ease and allow for greater absorption of the material.
Tips for effective writing are included in every chapter, as well. Thought-provoking scenarios provide challenges
and opportunities for collaboration and interaction. These exercises are especially helpful for working with groups
of students. Clear exercises teach sentence and paragraph writing skills that lead to common English composition
and research essays.
Writing for Success provides a range of discussion, examples, and exercises, from writing development to mastery
of the academic essay, that serve both student and instructor.
