Features

Inquiry-Based Reading/Writing Projects Born out of Peter Adams’ experience in the classroom, the Reading/Writing Projects (Part P) a complete, inquiry-based pathway through current, relevant topics—from “The Marshmallow Test” to “Disability”—to teach essential reading and composition skills.


Flexible, Modular Content for All Faculty—and All Students Instructors build the course that’s right for them and their students by integrating material from Parts W (Writing), R (Reading), D (Research and Documentation), and B (Balancing School, Work, and Life) with the core Part P Reading/Writing Projects. With the help of the Instructor’s Manual’s suggested course plans and Achieve’s easily modified prebuilt course, instructors can design a course that meets their objectives. For corequisite composition courses, Achieve lets students sign in to their composition and corequisite sections with one easy process–and no additional fees.

Integrated Reading and Writing Reading and writing are two sides of the same coin: Readings provide models of good writing, and  writing about readings promotes deeper understanding of their content, builds connections with prior knowledge, and provides topics for composing.


Thorough coverage of non-cognitive topics Because non-cognitive issues can so easily derail student success, Peter Adams developed units that enable students to resolve problems that block their path to academic success.

 

New to This Edition

Exciting new Reading/Writing Projects:

  • Individual and Community There’s safety—and comfort—in numbers, but communities always restrict membership. Students explore this tension as it plays out in a wide range of groups.
  • Immigration In 1883 Emma Lazarus wrote: “Give me your tired, your poor / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” In that same year, the United States enacted the Chinese Exclusion Act, the first and only immigration law designed to restrict a particular group. Students explore the tensions that have characterized American attitudes toward immigration and draw conclusions about how to enact American ideals.
  • Disability Considerable progress has been made to remove obstacles to full participation of people with disabilities, but more work remains. Since almost everyone will be disabled or care for someone who is, students explore a struggle that has the potential to affect us all.

20+ new readings  Thoroughly refreshed readings now include selections from writers as varied as Ta-Nehisi Coates, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Gloria Anzaldua, Elizabeth Kolbert, and Andrew Pulrang.

New support to help students be their best selves Coverage includes requesting an accommodation and expressing your true self, even in academic writing.

Updated MLA formatting and citation guidelines Up-to-date MLA (2021) style guidelines offer thorough advice and ample models.

Authors

Peter Adams

Peter Adams is the creator of and nation's leading expert on the Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) and a passionate advocate for updating the current structure of developmental education in America to help more students succeed. As a teacher at the Community College of Baltimore County, Peter saw the opportunity to improve success rates among students placed in developmental writing courses, and so he created and developed the ALP model to meet that need. Peter spent eight years teaching ALP and an additional seven years training faculty across the country on how to implement the ALP model. As of 2017, more than 300 schools in 20 states offer sections of ALP and 7 states have adopted the model statewide. Through his deep experience with the course, its students, and its instructors, Adams truly understands the challenges of this course and is uniquely qualified to author The Hub. Peter's professional experience includes tenure with the editorial board of the Journal of Basic Writing and leadership positions with the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC). His two influential articles "Basic Writing Revisited" (Journal of Basic Writing, 1993) and "The Accelerated Learning Program: Throwing Open the Gates" (Journal of Basic Writing, 2009) were both major catalysts for the nationwide movement toward mainstreaming basic writers.
