W Writing Analytically with Readings Second Canadian Edition David RosenwasserJill StephenDoug BabingtonISBN: 017650446X

Writing Analytically is an across-the-curriculum rhetoric

with integrated readings that teaches students how to have

an idea and develop analytical essays in an academic

setting. This text approaches writing as a process

that involves the exploration of questions, ideas, and

experiences. It challenges the notion there is a “right”

answer to writing analytically, but rather teaches students

that writing analytically means allowing a thesis and

arguments to evolve in response to evidence and source

material. Readings are integrated into the content of the

chapters, helping students see that the concepts they are

learning are actually employed by active writers.

ISBN: 0176523456

The Essentials of Academic Writing is an essay-level book focused exclusively on writing academic papers. It is organized around three principles: a thorough focus on the fundamentals of writing academic papers; a cross-disciplinary approach to writing that emphasizes the importance of writing skills beyond the English course; and a focus on reading skills as the underlying foundation of a good critical thinker. One of the hallmarks of this book is the use of a single sample student essay, from start to finish, as an annotated example of the process used by a developing writer. From the brainstorming diagram in the first chapter to the final draft at the end of Part One, students are given a strong, consistent model to emulate.
