Book Description
Publication Date: June 28, 2012 | ISBN-10: 0205171370 | ISBN-13: 978-0205171378 | Edition: 11
This lively collection of fifty-three short, readable selections by both student and professional writers provides useful models of the rhetorical modes.

In addition to familiar names such as Barbara Ehrenreich, Richard Rodriguez, and William Raspberry, this reader features many fresh voices such as Anchee Min, Thomas Sowell, Anna Quindlen, Michael Chabon, and Dave Barry. Detailed chapter openers offer strategies for using each rhetorical mode, including short examples from the readings within each chapter. Headnotes for each essay give a brief biography of its author, explain its context, and pinpoint one of the writerΓÇÖs techniques. Questions on ΓÇ£Organization and IdeasΓÇ¥ and ΓÇ£Technique and StyleΓÇ¥ and many suggestions for writing journal entries and essays follow each selection. Each chapter ends with additional writing assignments that ask the reader to compare two or more of the essays.

Great Resource for English Teachers February 22, 2012
By pinkcheetah

This book is a must-have for high school English teachers. Each style of writing (comparison/contrast; description; narrative; etc.) is broken down in easy-to-understand language, and the explanations are short enough that students will actually read it. The model essays are good (comparable to other collections); however, the description of each essay type is what sets this book above the others. I used it in my classroom with great success, and now as an English Instructional Coach who works with teachers in planning and implementing lessons, I recommend it often.
