This text demystifies academic reading and writing, step by step

Available for the first time with Macmillan's new online learning tool, Achieve, From Inquiry to Academic Writing helps students understand academic culture and its ways of thinking, reading, and writing. With a practical and widely proven step-by-step approach, the text demystifies cross-curricular thinking and writing. An extensive thematic reader brings students into interdisciplinary conversations that not only bear on their college careers but also reflect larger cultural issues that they will encounter outside the academy. The fifth edition includes 23 new readings (forty percent) and an increased emphasis on using critical reading to evaluate multiple perspectives and stretch beyond binary thinking.

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.


A thematic reader that presents important interdisciplinary and cultural conversations. Selections from scholarly works, public intellectuals, and even best-selling authors reveal that the topics, issues, and rhetorical moves of academia are as relevant outside the university as they are within it. Five thematic chapters explore these interdisciplinary issues: What does it mean to be educated, and who decides? How do race, class, and gender influence us? What can we learn from that which entertains us? How do our physical and cultural selves intersect? How do our decisions affect our environment? The readings provide a link between the academic culture students are adapting to and the wider culture in which they are already scholars.

Effective editorial apparatus that reinforces academic habits of thinking, reading, and writing. Selection headnotes provide biographical and contextual information, and post-reading questions focus on analyzing rhetorical choices and entering the conversation of ideas. An alternative thematic table of contents prompts interdisciplinary thinking by showing connections across the curriculum.


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

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.

Twenty-three 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;
  • Ibram X. Kendi offers his definition of what it means to be an antiracist; and
  • Jia Tolentino examines the effects of online performances of the self.

An even stronger emphasis on the importance of 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. With thematic units organized around pertinent cultural issues and chapters devoted to illustrating concepts from rhetoric and research with shorter practical examples, this textbook is really like two books in one."
--Emily Wierszewski, Seton Hill University
