The Concise St. Martin's Guide to Writing

By Charles R. Cooper and Rise B. Axelrod

Book Overview

The new Concise St. Martin's Guide provides streamlined coverage of the six most commonly assigned genres in first-year composition--remembering events, writing profiles, explaining concepts, arguing a position, proposing a solution, and justifying an evaluation. The Concise Guide leads students through the writing process: "Guides to Reading" equip students to analyze a genre's basic features, and Axelrod and Cooper's distinctive "Guides to Writing" help students apply their analysis of reading to the development of their own writing projects. With more hands-on activities for critical reading and working with sources, greater emphasis on the rhetorical situation, and a fresh new design to show students the strategies they need at a glance, the Concise Guide helps students accomplish their writing goals from start to finish.
