Conceived as a primarily digital, multimedia text, The Writer’s Loop integrates video and powerful writing tools that support students’ learning. Achieve with Ingraham and Bohannon, The Writer’s Loop combines the text’s clear, concise treatment of key rhetorical concepts, relatable examples, and multi-draft writing assignments with integrated videos, powerful writing tools, and the flexibility to select content and customize assignments. For corequisite composition courses, Achieve lets students sign in to their composition and corequisite sections with one easy process–and no additional fees.
 
A consistent, scaffolded learning framework emphasizes the recursive nature of the writing process. Within the chapters, a four-part framework  encourages students to reflect often and loop backwards and forwards in their writing process:

• First, students engage with key rhetorical concepts and writing strategies by reading about them.
• Next, a Reflect activity prompts them to connect what they’ve read with their past writing experiences or a current writing assignment.
•  An Understand section follows, diving deeper into the concepts through extended examples, often in the form of videos or annotated readings.
• Then, an Apply activity prompts students to try out what they’ve learned in their own writing. Reflect and Apply activities in each chapter build in a recursive fashion toward the Chapter Project, a larger, multi-draft writing assignment.
   
  Chapter Projects give students practice writing a range of assignments in multiple drafts. The thirteen multi-draft Chapter Projects support the most common types  of academic writing, including personal essay, literacy narrative, reflection, evaluation, rhetorical analysis, argument, annotated bibliography, and researched writing.
   
  Videos featuring student characters give students confidence to tackle their own writing challenges. Seventeen animations throughout the text follow four student characters as they work through some of the writing processes and strategies the text introduces. Videos are no more than three minutes long, making them great icebreakers for class discussion.
   
  Twelve sample essays by real students provide models for students to learn from and critique. These sample essays provide realistic models (rather than perfect examples) that demonstrate many of the concepts introduced in the text.
   
  A Student’s Companion to The Writer’s Loop supports students taking a co-requisite or ALP course alongside first-year composition. Authored by Elizabeth Catanese (Community College of Philadelphia), this supplement offers thorough support for students in ALP/co-requisite courses. The text includes coverage of college success strategies;  activities to help students develop thoughtful, college-level essays; and additional practice in correcting writing problems, from revising topic sentences and developing paragraphs to correcting fragments. This handy resource can be found in the book’s Achieve.
