Publisher's Synopsis
For first-year courses in Composition/Rhetoric. With ample material for a full-year composition course, Revel Strategies for Successful Writing, 12th Edition supports students as they learn to compose in the rhetorical modes. Diverse examples demonstrate writing concepts and strategies, so students can recognise them more easily in the longer reading selections and apply them in their own compositions. Instruction is brief and to the point, allowing students to spend more time writing and less time reading about writing. The authors' conversational yet concise approach invites students into the book, reducing their apprehensions about writing and providing a model for their own prose. The 12th Edition stresses the importance and characteristics of civil writing - addressing the growing cultural challenges posed by social media and the increasingly hostile discourse in many media. This edition also increases emphasis on visual rhetoric and multimedia approaches to writing and texts. Revel™ is Pearson's newest way of delivering our respected content. Fully digital and highly engaging, Revel replaces the textbook and gives students everything they need for the course. Informed by extensive research on how people read, think, and learn, Revel is an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience — for less than the cost of a traditional textbook.
