Recognizing the importance of reading and writing skills in any context, The Bedford Book of Genres invites students to unpack how genres work in order to experiment with their own compositions. From memes to podcasts, rhetorical analyses to researched arguments, the models engage students, inspiring them to think critically and engage thoughtfully. 

After capturing the imagination of instructors and students in its first two editions, the third edition focuses on the crucial move from effective reading to strong writing.  The Guide now includes a new Part Two on the writing process to better teach students how to compose in any situation.  Throughout the text, Guided Readings provide opportunities to analyze the rhetorical situations and conventions of common public and academic genres, while Guided Process sections follow the decisions that five real students made as they worked in multiple genres and media. With a range of readings from short visual arguments to longer, more complex pieces, the thematic Reader gives students a wealth of sources, models, and inspiration for their own compositions.

Package with Achieve for Readers & Writers
Combining diagnostics with formative and summative assessments, Achieve for Readers & Writers is a quick, flexible solution for targeting instruction on critical reading, the writing process, grammar, mechanics, style, and punctuation to each individual student

Features

An emphasis on the rhetorical situation and elements of genre helps students immediately recognize the relevance of their first-year composition course and gives them a structure and framework that allows them to understand other composers’ choices and to make their own choices more effectively.

Guided Readings that map the rhetorical situation and conventions of common genres. Annotated Guided Readings demystify genres and help students recognize the strategies and rhetorical moves composers make across genres and modes.Students can easily return to these visual references as they compose, applying  these moves as they read and write in any context.

Advice about multimodal composing built around interesting student projects that expand ideas about writing.
Guided Process sections follow students as they brainstorm, draft, research, compose, revise, finish, and reflect on their work—step by step. Having a variety of student examples shows what’s possible with multimodal composition and demonstrates that students don’t have to begin as experts to research a topic and make a point about it in a new and interesting way.

An engaging thematic reader with a unique mix of genres and media.  Within each chapter, a range of selections shows how different genres respond differently to cultural conversations about identity, the mind and body, activism, and creativity. Readings offer a variety of voices and genres, including research-based essays, blog entries, infographics, advertisements, and photographs. Analytical questions and writing prompts for each reading give students practice working with key concepts, and each chapter closes with two longer-term projects.

New to This Edition

A stronger emphasis on the reading and writing connection. A key structural point of The Bedford Book of Genres has always been the understanding that students are reading in order to write. In the third edition, we’ve made this framework more explicit by reorganizing the existing chapters on composing into their own section on the writing process, reframing chapter 3 as “Reading as a Writer,” and giving students clearer guidelines for translating their skills as readers into tools for their own writing. New writing assignments at the end of each of the genre chapters in Part 3 allow students to put their new skills into practice.
In-depth research coverage in Part 3 includes an up-to-date guide to MLA and the latest version of APA documentation. In addition, Chapter 12  features a new student writer, Donovan Rodriguez, evaluating sources as he tackles the topic of teenage anxiety. Students will hear from a peer, in his own words, with practical advice for analyzing multiple sources including videos.
Thoroughly updated readings. Twenty-one readings  (more than 30%) are new for the third edition, on topics that will enliven classroom discussion and composing. For instance, Chapter 7 features a journal article on how a recent manifestation of Spiderman brings social justice into the superhero canon while Chapter 9 includes both a brand new Guided Reading featuring a podcast on China’s decision to stop accepting recycling from the U.S. and an article that explains why aliens might actually look more like a plate of spaghetti than little green men.

“The coverage in The Bedford Book of Genres is amazing. It covers every genre I teach in class and then some so that instructors can change assignments easily and keep the course fresh.”

- Sayanti Ganguly Puckett, Johnson County Community College

 

"The Bedford Book of Genres allows students to see real-world situations in which their attention to audience, their understanding of tone, and their fulfillment of purpose are not just constructs they have to learn for academic essays, but are key components to communication that will be useful outside the hallowed halls of their college. The genre approach allows student creativity to flourish."

- Jen Richrath, Illinois Central College
