The Prentice Hall Guide for College Writers

For undergraduate Composition I and II courses. From the first edition, The Prentice Hall Guide for College Writers has focused on writing for a variety of purposes in a rhetorical situation. Although audience, context, and writing situation are important, a writer’s purpose should be and has always been the focal point of the sequence of assignments. The Prentice Hall Guide begins with observing and remembering, which are personally important to the writer. It then turns to more reader-based, academic purposes, including critical reading, expository writing, and argumentative writing. Each chapter in this sequence is self-contained, with introductions, guidelines, professional and student models, writing process advice, research tips, revising guidelines, peer review questions, and postscript reflections on the assignment.
