Publisher's Synopsis
The everyday world. The public world. The academic world. The work world. These are the Four Worlds of Writing explored in this book, providing familiar contexts that help students use the writing process to expand knowledge and effect change. This composition text teaches flexible strategies to hone writing skills. Students learn to begin the process by asking questions about important aspects of their lives that they seek to understand and change. Writing becomes a means to build on what they know and create some form of action, such as gaining new insights, increasing commitment to an issue, taking a new position or rejecting an old one. With multiple student and professional examples, Four Worlds of Writing offers guidance to help students write more powerfully and persuasively.
