Loose Leaf for College Writing Skills with Readings

By John Langan and Zoe Albright

Book Overview

College Writing Skills with Readings emphasizes writing skills as well as process. The text identifies a set of four fundamental skills that are critical to effective writing:

- Unity: Discover a clearly stated point, or topic sentence, and make sure that all other information in the paragraph or essay supports that point.

- Support: Buttress the points with specific evidence, and plenty of it.

- Coherence: Organize and connect supporting evidence so that paragraphs and essays transition smoothly from one piece of supporting information to the next.

- Sentence Skills: Revise and edit so that sentences are error-free for clearer and more effective communication.

These four bases are essential to all effective writing, whether it be a narrative paragraph for a personal journal, a cover letter for a job application, or an essay for an academic assignment.
