Now with Achieve, including new writing tools. Achieve puts student writing at the center of your course and keeps revision at the core, with a dedicated composition space that guides students through drafting, peer review, source check, reflection, and revision. Developed to support best practices in commenting on student drafts, Achieve is a flexible, integrated suite of tools for designing and facilitating writing assignments, paired with actionable insights that make students’ progress towards outcomes clear and measurable. Fully editable pre-built assignments support the book’s approach, and an e-book is included, along with adaptive quizzing and auto-scored reading comprehension quizzes for all of the readings in Models for Writers. For corequisite composition courses, Achieve lets students sign in to their composition and corequisite sections with one easy process–and no additional fees.
24 new, accessible essays on engaging topics. More than one-third of the readings in the thirteenth edition are new, and 20 of which are essays published since 2016. The new selections feature topical themes and a range of diverse perspectives from writers such as:
- Tara Westover on the transition from her isolated, rural family to graduate school at Cambridge University in "Pygmalion," a selection from her memoir Educated.
- Markham Heid on the social and psychological effects of smartphones on children and teens.
- Farhad Manjoo on the cultural power of the singular, gender-neutral they in "Its Time for They."
More attention to critical reading. Chapter 2, Reading Actively and Critically, has been extensively revised in response to instructor feedback. The chapters new organization presents reading as a two-step process: first, students read actively to get a basic understanding of what an author is saying; then they read critically to draw deeper connections. Furthermore, the study questions that follow each reading throughout every chapter of the book have been reorganized so that five Questions for Study and Discussion are followed by three Questions for Critical Reading—a new study sequence that reinforces the way instructors teach reading.
A new chapter on finding one’s voice. New Chapter 11 explains the significance and power of voice, defined as the writers personality as expressed on the written page. The chapter offers examples of compelling voices in professional writing, as well as helpful advice for student writers seeking to discover and express their own voices.
Two timely new thematic argument casebooks in Chapter 22. The three authors in the first casebook, "Is College Worth the Cost?," examine the problem of rising higher education fees and debate whether college is worth the financial investment. In the second casebook, "How Real Is the Automation Threat?," three authors consider the recent trend of jobs lost to automation and offer differing perspectives on the severity of the crisis and possible solutions.
A new student essay in Chapter 1 that guides students through the writing process. The new essay-in-progress — about hair and its connection to race and identity — guides students from the thesis to outlining to the final essay.
Updated APA coverage. A dedicated section in Chapter 23, "A Brief Guide to Writing a Research Paper," aligns formatting and citation examples with the 2020 American Psychological Association guidelines.
A new Students Companion for Models for Writers that provides additional support. This guide offers robust help for students in ALP or corequisite courses and helps beginning college writers develop on-level skills. Coverage includes time management, writing activities in the rhetorical patterns, sentence guides, and additional grammar help.
