Riassunto

In Conversation with Exercises starts with the idea that good writing isn’t a single, static thing. This rhetorically-driven, genre-based handbook prepares college writers to write in different ways for different courses, professional contexts, and civic and everyday scenarios. It helps them to be every kind of writer – one who slips in and out of a range of roles, writing situations, and conversations. It gives novice writers the versatility and confidence to succeed. It helps them to enter conversations, plan documents, cite sources, check facts, and understand (even question) language conventions. Paired with an engaging and powerful digital platform–Achieve–and available in a version with exercises, In Conversation is a practical tool for shaping and sharpening a writers’ instincts.
