Achieve for From Inquiry to Academic Writing is a dedicated composition space that guides students through drafting, peer review, source check, reflection, and revision.

Features

A practical and proven text on academic writing, with unique step-by-step checklists and skill-by-skill practice sequences. Coverage of current practices in academic writing introduces students to core intellectual and rhetorical moves—from habits of academic thinking and critical reading to drafting and developing a researched argument. Each carefully structured chapter reinforces instruction with “Steps to…” checklists that summarize the major points and “Practice Sequences” that ask students to try out or build on the strategies that have been demonstrated.

Current examples of academic writing that will engage, challenge, and enlighten students. Academic writing can be difficult and demanding; Greene and Lidinsky select the most thoughtful, well-researched, carefully argued, and thoroughly documented academic essays. Fascinating topics, imaginative use of research and evidence, and surprising insights and conclusions maintain student interest. Examples throughout the text include student essays annotated to highlight the effective practice of academic writing habits and skills.

Effective editorial apparatus that reinforces academic habits of thinking, reading, and writing. Selection headnotes provide biographical and contextual information, and many practice sequences encourage students to dig deeper into the readings and draw connections between the readings and the chapter discussion.

Thorough and helpful support for teachers. Resources for Teaching From Inquiry to Academic Writing includes help for instructors new to the book’s approach to academic writing, with tips for planning the course, detailed discussions of every chapter and reading, suggested responses or answers to various assignments, and suggested in-class activities.

New to This Edition

The ebook has been updated to give your students the latest guidance on documenting sources in MLA style and follows the guidelines set forth in the MLA Handbook, 9th edition (April 2021).

Achieve with From Inquiry to Academic Writing provides a dedicated composition space to guide students through drafting, peer review, source check, reflection, and revision.  Achieve is a flexible, integrated suite of tools for designing and facilitating writing assignments, paired with actionable insights that make students’ progress toward outcomes clear and measurable. Developed to support best practices in commenting on student drafts, Achieve includes an e-book, fully editable pre-built assignments that support the book’s approach, reading comprehension quizzes, and other interactive materials. For details, visit macmillanlearning.com/college/us/englishdigital.

New “Moves to Model” boxes prompt students to analyze and try out the rhetorical moves of professional writers and scholars. Appearing throughout the text, these boxes use examples from the reading selections to demonstrate specific rhetorical moves such as summarizing, making a claim, and conceding a point. Then, sentence guides prompt students to try out those moves in their own writing. The result is a toolkit of models for students to work from and a jumping-off point for instructors to discuss issues of style.

Nine new and relevant selections provide eye-opening and engaging reading for students. For example,

  • Tara Westover explores the tension between her ambition to be educated and her ideas of what it means to be a woman;
  • Ronald Purser questions the effects of the growing mindfulness movement in schools; and
  • Naomi Baron explores the question of whether we learn more from reading in print than we do from reading digitally.

An even stronger emphasis on considering multiple perspectives helps students analyze and integrate complex points of view, moving them beyond binary thinking. The fifth edition includes expanded advice for analyzing appeals (Chapter 2), integrating ideas from sources while avoiding plagiarism (Chapter 8), using quotations and signal phrases (Chapter 8), and assessing the accuracy and credibility of sources and visuals (Chapters 7 and 10).

A thoroughly revised Chapter 10 on visual rhetoric helps students make sense of the many visual arguments they encounter. The chapter includes new examples and a new section on analyzing infographics.

“From Inquiry to Academic Writing demonstrates the complexity of the writing process and the relationship between readers and writers, but it isn't overwhelming or intimidating. It is useful for pushing students to see that academic writing requires rigorous work in multiple areas while providing them the tools to break down this work.”
--Jess Landis, Franklin Pierce University

“From establishing strong habits of mind to completing a research-based essay, this textbook provides thorough explanations of various elements of reading, writing and research . . . and handy checklists that help students quickly review information.”
--Kim Vandervort, Fullerton College

"This is an approachable introduction to college writing, grounded in principles of rhetoric and critical thinking."
--Emily Wierszewski, Seton Hill University
