Emerging focuses on the skills necessary for academic writing in any discipline—and offers concrete strategies for improving those skills.  Author Barclay Barrios uses an inquiry-based approach to help students understand and write about a variety of texts, while innovative assignment sequences explore the important but unsettled issues that shape our lives, such as How is technology changing us?, How can you make a difference in the world?, and a central question of our time, How can we get along? Thought-provoking, contemporary readings help students address those questions in meaningful ways.  Fifteen new readings and updated writing assignments keep Emerging in tune with current ideas that will challenge students to think beyond their own experiences—and beyond the classroom.

The contemporary conversations that shape our lives

Emerging focuses on the skills necessary for academic writing in any discipline—and offers concrete strategies for improving those skills.  Author Barclay Barrios uses an inquiry-based approach to help students understand and write about a variety of texts, while innovative assignment sequences explore the important but unsettled issues that shape our lives, such as How is technology changing us?, How can you make a difference in the world?, and a central question of our time, How can we get along? Thought-provoking, contemporary readings help students address those questions in meaningful ways.  Fifteen new readings and updated writing assignments keep Emerging in tune with current ideas that will challenge students to think beyond their own experiences—and beyond the classroom.

Features

Vivid, approachable readings explore complex, interdisciplinary ideas. Written for a general audience, the readings allow students to engage with ideas without stumbling on exclusionary language. The essays range from brief (2-3 pages) to longer (12-15 pages) than those typically found in composition readers to provide students access to the ideas that shape our world. These diverse selections—arranged alphabetically for maximum flexibility—represent cross-disciplinary work (such as a psychologist thinking about animal rights), putting students into conversations with public intellectuals including Ta-Nehisi Coates, Roxane Gay, and Sherry Turkle.

A focus on connections among readings. Emerging helps students see how ideas connect to one another, in sometimes surprising ways, through topical tags and creative assignments, making it flexible for instructors and fruitful for students.

Innovative apparatus helps students develop the critical reading and writing skills needed to bridge public and academic issues. Part One presents key skills of academic success: reading critically, synthesizing, arguing, using evidence, and revising.  Several types of questions follow each selection in Part Two, including unique assignments as analytical tools to aid in critical understanding. In Part Three, eight assignment sequences offer a variety of projects that help students work critically with multiple readings, connecting and distinguishing key ideas.

New to This Edition

Compelling new readings bring to life cutting-edge topics, including:

  • Novelist Michael Chabon reflects on his son’s love of fashion and the universal search for people who will understand you and share your passions.
  • Essayist Leslie Jamison traces the complicated path to obtaining an elusive medical diagnosis—and the aftermath.
  • Journalist Adrien Chen explores the influence of social media on our beliefs—and makes a case for radical empathy.

New multimodal assignments throughout the book offer instructors new options for students to write and compose in a variety of media.

Four new or substantially revised assignment sequences provide a convenient way to structure selected readings into a coherent course.  They  ask challenging questions to spark students’ interest and to guide them on a substantive academic project, such as:

  • How Do We Face the Challenge of Race?
  • What Does Ethical Conflict Look Like in a Globalized World?
  • How Can We Get Along?
  • What is the Role of Art in the World?
