Writing Today by Richard Johnson-Sheehan
This print textbook is available for students to rent for their classes. The Pearson print rental program provides students with affordable access to learning materials, so they come to class ready to succeed. Practical writing skills for composing in the real world Writing Today is an accessible text that fits the way today's students read and learn — and the way today's instructors teach. Its chunked writing style, eye-catching design, and focus on writing genres, strategies, and processes sets up students for success in their college courses, careers, and civic lives. The 4th edition marks a turning point with a new focus on reflection, or discovering why we think the way we do. As students explore this theme, they build their intellect, while becoming more aware, versatile, and resilient. Writing Today, 4th Edition, is also available via Revel®, an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience.Richard Johnson-Sheehan is a Professor of Rhetoric and Composition at Purdue University.
