Explores writing, rhetoric, and research by considering the different modes of argument in contemporary culture

A concise and practical guide, Envision: Writing and Researching Arguments, Fifth Edition is ideal for those focusing on argumentation and research-based writing. Each chapter uses interactive and engaging lessons, and focuses both on analyzing and producing words (print materials, articles, blog posts, and even tweets) as well as on writing about images and other contemporary media (cartoons, ads, photographs, films, video games, websites, and more). In this way, it teaches critical literacy about all kinds of texts.

 

Additionally, numerous student writing examples and professional, published readings--both with annotations--are provided to reinforce the writing lessons in each chapter and to demonstrate how readers might successfully implement such strategies in their own texts. Readers using Envision will learn how to analyze and compose arguments, design and conduct research projects, and produce persuasive visual and oral presentations.

 

Personalize learning with MyWritingLab

MyWritingLab is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Within its structured environment, students practice what they learn, test their understanding, and pursue a personalized study plan that helps them better absorb course material and understand difficult concepts. In addition to the full eText, activities directly from the text are available within MyWritingLab. These include the written assignments, readings from the text, review exercises and more.

Informazioni sull'autore

Christine Alfano is the Associate Director of Stanford's Program in Writing and Rhetoric. She holds a BA from Brown University and PhD from Stanford and specializes in digital rhetoric, visual rhetoric, technology and pedagogy, and writing program administration. In her recent  courses, “The Rhetoric of Gaming,” "Gender and Technology," “Networked Rhetoric,” and "Cultural Interfaces," Christine challenges students to explore how writing in different technological modes (from docs, to blogs, threaded discussions, social media platforms, memes, vlogs, wikis, etc.) transforms the modern practices of communication and how we represent ourselves online and off. 

Dr. Alyssa J. O'Brien is a Lecturer in the Program and Writing and Rhetoric at Stanford University, where she directs the Cross-Cultural Rhetoric initiative and publishes scholarship and textbooks on visual rhetoric, writing pedagogy, and global learning. She has been an invited speaker in Asia and Europe on subjects such as global learning, communication for leadership, visual rhetoric, and “mapping a change in writing.” In 2006, Alyssa won the Phi Beta Kappa Outstanding Teaching Award, and what she enjoys most is helping people discover their voices in writing of all kinds. Her current first- and second-year writing courses focus on visual rhetoric, cross-cultural rhetoric, globalization, and communication for leadership. Before coming to Stanford in 2001, she taught composition, creative writing, literature, and business writing at Cornell University, the Eastman School of Music, and the University of Rochester.
