Written in a lively and conversational manner, this text focuses on important key themes and teaches students to write with power. Mindful Writing aims to grow a student’s rhetorical repertoire and motivate them to develop mindful approaches to writing tasks in any setting.

Mindful Writing is an innovative text based on current research in writing studies and learning science that will provide students with a foundation in rhetoric and the writing process. From the first chapter, each student will come to understand that if they’ve written anything (a text message, an e-mail, a post-it note etc.), they are a writer. Dr. Jackson focuses on helping students grow as writers and synthesizes best practices while building upon what students have already learned in past writing courses.

Features

Teaches students five principles of effective writers:

  • Effective writers are mindful writers who develop metacognitive strategies
  • Effective writers use a self-directed process involving planning, practicing, revising, and reflecting (the first and last steps are often missing from curricula)
  • Effective writers know something about writing and rhetoric as content disciplines (the "writing about writing" approach made popular by Doug Downs and Elizabeth Wardle), and this declarative knowledge aids writing transfer
  • Effective writers develop skills in genre, argument, rhetorical appeals, and style
  • Effective writers are mindful readers, too.
