Description

Overview

Thinking Rhetorically is a guide to develop the writing, researching and editing skills you’ll need in college and beyond. Informed by research, its emphasis is on reading and writing as rhetorical acts. The explanations, examples and engaging classroom activities included are designed to evoke deep learning with the goal of helping you transfer compositional and rhetorical skills across disciplines and professions.Newly reorganized around interdisciplinary metagenras (rather than aims), the 9th Edition has also been significantly revised both to incorporate the authors’ recent research and to respond to new developments in scholarship and pedagogy. This edition offers 10 diverse new examples of student writing, new and revised chapters, and assignments designed to help you produce effective essays in academic and civic genres.
