Reading Critically, Writing Well by Rise B. Axelrod; Charles R. Cooper; Ellen Carillo - Thirteenth Edition, 2023 from Macmillan Student Store

The most thorough support for the reading-writing connection

Reading Critically, Writing Well is designed for today’s students living in an information-saturated culture. As students learn about constructing meaning through the processes of reading and writing, Reading Critically, Writing Well gives students opportunities to reflect on what they are learning, enabling them to recognize the relationship between their reading and writing practices and to apply what they are learning to other academic courses, as well as to contexts outside of the classroom. Achieve for Reading Critically, Writing Well offers high-quality content, along with opportunities for instructor support and flexibility, plus student engagement with readings, multiple assessment opportunities, diagnostics with study plans, and writing tools.

Features

  • Reading Critically, Writing Well introduces the essential Academic Habits of Mind that students need to succeed in college: curiosity, openness, engagement, creativity, persistence, responsibility, flexibility, and metacognition.
  • Hands-on activities give students practice in a range of reading and writing strategies — strategies that enhance comprehension, inspire thoughtful response, stimulate critical inquiry, and foster rhetorical analysis.
  • The new edition features readings from established, emerging, and student writers in every chapter and covers a wide variety of topics of interest to contemporary students in order to inspire engaged reading, spark curious conversations, and provoke thoughtful writing.
  • Achieve for Reading Critically, Writing Well offers an affordable option, with high-quality content, along with opportunities for instructor support and flexibility, plus student engagement with readings, multiple assessment opportunities, diagnostics with study plans, and writing tools. Fully editable pre-built assignments support the book’s approach and an e-book is included.

New to This Edition

  • Increased Attention to the Habits of Mind with Additional Emphasis on Curiosity. The new edition helps students understand reading and writing as inquiry-driven practices propelled by curiosity with a new chapter. Chapter 5, Understanding Through Inquiry, includes model readings that showcase how authors use writing as a form of exploration and a means to exercise curiosity.
  • Emphasis on Multimodality: To reflect students’ regular engagement with texts that incorporate more than one mode of communication, the new edition gives students opportunities to more consistently engage with multimodal essays and to write them. Students are introduced to linguistic,  visual,  aural,  spatial, and gestural modes of communication in Chapter 1. A new reading strategy, analyzing data visualizations, has been added to Chapter 2, to support this emphasis on multimodality and students are introduced to a set of steps for analyzing data visualizations, such as charts, graphs, and tables.

“I love that the chapters in this book are based on genres of essays. It allows me to teach the writing and reading concepts as integrated systems. In Reading Critically, Writing Well the readings are the focus of the text, and the writing concepts are taught by observing the readings.”
 - Mae Harmon, M.A., M.Ed. (Winthrop University)
