Описание: Through the Mist and toward the Light: Grammar for the First Year College Writer offers a new approach to grammatical concepts to encourage and improve the grammar proficiency and writing skills for beginning writers. Far from a traditional handbook, the text presents innovative, engaging, practical, and accessible approaches to grammar that is often found difficult to first year college students. Section 1 of the text builds on the premise that good sentence structure is based on a student's ability to identify how each word in a sentence is being used. To that end, the section offers an in-depth look at the parts of speech and the many rules surrounding their correct usage. Section 2 fosters writing proficiency through an analysis of the most often misused punctuation symbols in the writing of first year students, offering detailed exercises to promote correct usage. Section 3 walks students through the common inhibitors to sound sentence structure and rhythm, and focuses on concepts often found challenging for multilingual student writers. The final section helps students transition to the next level of writing proficiency by introducing them to the intricacies of structural and transformational diagramming to engage their own sentence structure, build on what they have learned, and continue to develop their mastery of grammar. Through the Mist and toward the Light is an ideal and practical resource for foundational courses in writing and composition. The text can also be used to support freshmen orientation or student success courses or programs.

Описание: Academic Conversation: First Year College Writing invites students to not only hone their writing skills, but to participate in and contribute to timely academic conversations. Students learn how to effectively "listen" to others and "hear" their ideas through reading texts written for a variety of audiences. After thoughtfully considering diverse perspectives, students are encouraged to respond by writing academic essays. In doing so, they learn to add to scholarly debates—a skill that will be at the center of their college and university studies.The book is divided into five subject areas that are both prevalent in academic conversations and important to students today: communication in the social media age, changes to the "model family," living a good life, ethnic and cultural diversity, and differences in generational values. Each section provides a brief introduction to the topic, a set of essays expressing different points of view, and writing prompts that challenge students to express their views as informed by the readings.Designed to help students develop key competencies that support growth in college and beyond, Academic Conversation is an ideal resource for first-year courses and programs, as well as introductory courses in composition or English.
