Reason to Write Strategies for Success in Academic Writing

"Reason to Write provides guidelines, strategies, and practice in writing for academic success. Students are taken through the writing process from generating ideas, to drafting and revising, to proofreading and editing. The Low-Intermediate level helps students understand the basic elements of a well-written paragraph; the Intermediate level moves students forward from writing paragraphs to essays. Each theme-based unit contains a short, stimulating reading passage to spark students' interest and provide meaningful issues to write about. Accompanying activities establish a framework for lively, in-depth discussion and the development of analytical thinking skills, which are crucial to effective writing in higher education. All instruction in grammar, vocabulary, and rhetorical style is thoroughly integrated with the theme and the writing objectives of each unit, so that students proceed along a seamless path from reading to thinking to writing, from the preparatory stages of writing to the completion of a final written piece.Miller, Judy L. is the author of 'Reason to Write Strategies for Success in Academic Writing' with ISBN 9780194367714 and ISBN 0194367711.
