Description

Now in its 4th edition, Exploring Writing: Paragraphs and Essays emphasizes writing skills and the process of effective writing. Authored by John Langan, this comprehensive guide encourages new writers to see writing as a learnable skill and an exploration through four essential bases:

  • Unity: Discover a clearly stated point or topic sentence, ensuring that all other information in the paragraph or essay supports it.
  • Support: Provide specific evidence to support points, offering ample detail for robust argumentation and clarity.
  • Coherence: Organize and connect supporting evidence smoothly, creating seamless transitions between bits of information within paragraphs and essays.
  • Sentence skills: Revise and edit sentences to ensure they are error-free, enhancing communication for greater effectiveness.

The book covers a range of writing tasks, from narrative paragraphs to cover letters and essay assignments. Updated with 11 new readings by authors such as Carol Dweck and Ta-Nehisi Coates, along with fresh content on literary analysis and modern student examples, Exploring Writing engages students in the writing process and supports their development as both academic and professional writers. Additionally, this title is now available in a low-cost rental option.
