Odyssey focuses on helping students build paragraph and essay writing skills while treating the writing process as a voyage of self-discovery, confidence building, and competence building.
As with most traditional paragraph to essay writing books, Odyssey begins with a thorough overview of the writing process, introduces the various patterns of development, then demonstrates each pattern of development with various essay samples. Parts IV –VI focus on improving grammar and paragraph development. The book concludes with an anthology of readings that take students on a “reading odyssey,” where selections cross genres and professions.
All exercises have been reorganized and streamlined in the fourth edition. Students will find newly titled “Comprehension and Practice” exercises that begin with a focus on fundamental concepts and then move into invention and the writing of short pieces. Students can then proceed to “Challenge” exercises that call for critical thinking, drafting, and revision. Interspersed throughout these questions sets are “ Collaboration” exercises, which are ideal for pairs and/or groups of students. Grammar, mechanics, and punctuation chapters conclude with “Chapter Quick Check” and “Summary Editing” exercises that test students understanding of all the grammar and sentence skills they have learned.
