How Writing Works: A Guide to Composing Genres With Readings

About this book

College students are expected to master new genres in every course they take. Yet composition instructors cant possibly teach students every genre they will need for their college courses or careers. Instead of telling students how to write a genre authors Jack and Pryal help students learn how a genre works using a genre toolkit that asks three questions: "What is it?" "Who reads it?" and "Whats it for?" By taking this problem-solving approach to writing How Writing Works: With Readings prepares students for any writing situation that they may encounter at school home or work.
