The Writer’s Mindset provides students with tools to transform the way they approach reading, writing, and arguing through five key pillars:
• Rhetorical Focus
• Incremental Approach
• Embedded Support
• Student Appeal
• Instructor Support
The breadth of coverage allows the text to be used in both semesters of Composition, including Composition sections tied to a Co-Requisite or ALP course, which makes this an excellent choice for 2-year schools. It also includes MLA 9e updates. Target opportunities using Everyone’s an Author, Everything’s an Argument, or Writing in the Works.
