Patterns for College Writing by Laurie G. Kirszner; Stephen R. Mandell - Fourteenth Edition, 2018 from Macmillan Student Store

The rhetorical reader with the most support

Bestselling authors Laurie Kirszner and Stephen Mandell know what works in the classroom. In Patterns for College Writing, they provide students with exemplary rhetorical models and just the right balance of classic and contemporary essays. Patterns includes comprehensive coverage of active reading, research, and the writing process in a five-chapter mini-rhetoric. This is followed by clear and thorough explanations of the patterns of development with the most thorough apparatus of any rhetorical reader and an example of student writing for each pattern. Add to that the most comprehensive coverage of argumentative writing and you will see why Patterns for College Writing is the best-selling reader in the country. The new edition includes exciting new readings, images, and debate and casebook topics.

Features

A diverse and popular selection of readings chosen by authors who know what works in the classroom. Offering a variety of subjects, styles, and cultural perspectives, the 68 professional readings provide outstanding models for student writing. Instructors can choose from a mix of essays by classic writers (such as George Orwell, Jessica Mitford, E. B. White, Martin Luther King Jr.) and newer voices (Bich Minh Nguyen, Zeynep Tufekci, Marina Keegan) so that instructors have a broad range of readings to choose from. More than a dozen visual texts give students practice in reading and interpreting photographs, fine art, comic book panels, and more.

Comprehensive coverage of the writing process, the patterns of development, and research. With helpful explanations, examples, and exercises, Part One, "The Writing Process," offers students essential advice on planning, drafting, revising, and editing an essay in five short chapters that form a brief rhetoric. Part Two, "Readings for Writers," provides detailed introductions to each chapter's rhetorical pattern, with plenty of examples of student writing, clear explanations of writing strategies, and accessible discussions of how the patterns can help organize ideas. Part Three, "Working with Sources," covers finding, evaluating, and integrating sources; avoiding plagiarism; and documenting sources in current (2016) MLA style. An appendix provides coverage of documenting sources in APA style.

Step-by-step examples of student writing and support for student writers. Reflecting Kirszner and Mandell's commitment to students, Patterns for College Writing includes 18 annotated student essays that provide students with realistic models for improving their own writing. In addition, grammar-in-context boxes, checklists, and editing worksheets offer specific advice on how to identify and correct the problems that students find most challenging.

Cultural and historical context for all readings. Each reading is prefaced by essential cultural and historical background information—updated and revised for this edition—to help students better understand the context in which the essay was written.

E-book format. With options for delivery in a variety of popular formats, an e-book is available at a reduced price relative to the print text.

New to This Edition

Diverse reading selections to engage students on current issues and provide rhetorical models.

  • Simon Cottee explores "What Motivates Terrorist Groups."
  • Karen Miller Pensiero shares the "Photos That Change History."
  • Amy Wilentz looks at monsters with a historical eye in "A Zombie Is a Slave Forever."

An argument chapter updated with the issues that matter to students. The most thorough argument chapter in any rhetorical reader has been updated with lively, current selections. Two new debates ask, "Should Public Colleges Be Free?" and "Does It Pay to Study the Humanities?" One new casebook raises the question, "Do College Students Need Trigger Warnings?"

A new, full-color design brings the instruction to life. Vivid photographs, multi-color annotations, and vibrant features make navigating Patterns for College Writing easy and enjoyable.

A Student's Companion to Patterns for College Writing, meant to supplement Patterns for College Writing, gives students the additional support they need to get or stay on-level in the composition classroom, with coverage on time management and models, tips, and practice activities on critical reading and writing skills, the essay drafting process, and the essentials of grammar. It is an ideal solution for accelerated learning programs or co-requisite courses, while the deep integration with Patterns makes it a perfect resource for any instructor who wants students to build a strong foundation in academic writing. A Student's Companion is available as a print supplement and is included automatically in the full LaunchPad for Patterns for College Writing.

LaunchPad, the all-in-one solution. LaunchPad engages students in the work of the course with curated, multimodal content. The full e-book provides an engaging reading experience that adapts to computers, tablets, and phones so that students can read on-the-go. Interactive editing worksheets allow students to submit their peer critiques to the instructor. LearningCurve adaptive quizzing focuses students on important writing and grammar topics. LaunchPad can be adopted as a standalone product or packaged with Patterns for College Writing, using ISBN 978-1-319-1364-2.

It’s all here. From classic to contemporary readings, from grammar and research, this comprehensive and useful all-purpose textbook is all students will need to bridge the reading and writing connection. The book is a classic in itself.
—Scott Hathaway, Hudson Valley Community College

"Clearly written, nicely organized, easy to use."
—Pamela Arlov, Middle Georgia State College

Patterns is so well organized any instructor could immediately incorporate it into his or her classroom, regardless of approach. An excellent text to demonstrate the various styles of writing with engaging readings to supplement the instruction.
—Joshua Miller, Cape Fear Community College
