Book excerpt: Thoughtful Writing, through its advice and through its muscle-memory-developing exercises, teaches students how to succeed at any kind of investigative or argumentative writing. Its training in how to find and use telling details solves the mystifying problem of how to write enough words to fill your required number of pages. This text demonstrates how to move from facts to inferences to a thesis and helps you write thesis statements that are genuinely thoughtful. It helps give warmth and life to your writing by making you conscious that you are writing for readers that you respect. It very specifically shows you how to conduct research - how to learn from people, from books, and from the vast resources on the internet. Its chapters on organizing, paragraphing, revising, and punctuating help you achieve professional standards of presentation. It teaches English grammar in a more enjoyable and useful way than does any other writing textbook. All in all, it helps you produce writing that is, in both the humane and the intellectual senses of the term, genuinely thoughtful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical Thinking, Thoughtful Writing Is A Revised Version Of A Book Originally Entitled Informative Writing. I Chose The First Title Because I Felt That Writing Courses For A Dangerously Long Time Had, In The Service Of Style And Organization, Given Short Shrift To Thoughtful Content (Well-Selected Facts And Careful Inferences). Teachers And Students Who Used Informative Writing Appreciated Its Emphasis On Substance, But They Found Most Original And Useful Facts, Inferences, And Theses (Chapter3), Which Teaches Students To Build A Thesis Through Their Inferences; Persuasion (Now Chapter 6), Which Teaches The Practical Thinking Skills Of Argument; Research Through Careful Reading (Now Chapter12), Which Teaches Students How To Draw Inferences As They Read, And The Draft Review Worksheets (Now Chapter14) Which Teach Students To Be Self-Critical As They Revise. Critical Thinking, Thoughtful Writing, Therefore, Better Describes The Originality And Strengths Of The Book. In Changing The Title I Am Not Suggesting That Well-Selected Information Is Any Less Important. Selecting Evidence Well Is One Of The Most Crucial Of The Many Thoughtful Processes That Constitute Writing. If Students Can Become Thoughtful In That Area As In Many Others, Their Writing Course Will Once Again Be Seen By Them, As It Deserves To Be Seen, As The Core Of Their Curriculum And As The Central Preparation For Their Professional Lives.

Download or read book Writing With, Through, and Beyond the Text written by Rebecca Luce-Kapler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-07-19 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing With, Through, and Beyond the Text: An Ecology of Language elaborates an understanding of writing, its influences on our interpretations of experience and identity, and its potential for enabling individuals to learn about and connect to the world beyond themselves. Rather than considering writing a process, the author describes it as a system, an ecology that engages the individual in a variety of socially constituted and interacting systems. The book examines the pedagogical and curricular implications of this approach to writing, considering what it means to write and teach writing in ways that understand and acknowledge the ecological character of writing. This is an illuminating text for a wide audience of faculty, professionals, and graduate students in English, writing, education, and women's studies/feminist theory.

Download or read book The Gist of Reading written by Andrew Elfenbein and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens to books as they live in our long-term memory? Why do we find some books entertaining and others not? And how does literary influence work on writers in different ways? Grounded in the findings of empirical psychology, this book amends classic reader-response theory and attends to neglected aspects of reading that cannot be explained by traditional literary criticism. Reading arises from a combination of two kinds of mental work: automatic and controlled processes. Automatic processes, such as the ability to see visual symbols as words, are the result of constant practice; controlled processes, such as predicting what might occur next in a story, arise from readers' conscious use of skills and background knowledge. When we read, automatic and controlled processes work together to create the "gist" of reading, the constant interplay between these two kinds of processes. Andrew Elfenbein not only explains how we read today, but also uses current knowledge about reading to consider readers of past centuries, arguing that understanding gist is central to interpreting the social, psychological, and political impact of literary works. The result is the first major revisionary account of reading practices in literary criticism since the 1970s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A little sweet, a little sharp.” —Booklist, starred review High school nemeses fall in love in Kelly Quindlen's She Drives Me Crazy, a queer YA rom com perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Casey McQuiston. After an embarrassing loss to her ex-girlfriend in their first basketball game of the season, seventeen-year-old Scottie Zajac gets into a fender bender with the worst possible person: her nemesis, Irene Abraham, head cheerleader for the Fighting Reindeer. Irene is as mean as she is beautiful, so Scottie makes a point to keep her distance. When the accident sends Irene’s car to the shop for weeks’ worth of repairs and the girls are forced to carpool, their rocky start only gets bumpier. But when an opportunity arises for Scottie to get back at her toxic ex—and climb her school’s social ladder—she bribes Irene into an elaborate fake- dating scheme that threatens to reveal some very real feelings. From author Kelly Quindlen comes a new laugh-out-loud romp through the ups and downs of teen romance, perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli.
