This book will help post-secondary educators to discover the joys and challenges of implementing theoretically grounded civic engagement projects on their campuses. The essays on civic engagement and public scholarship are written by an interdisciplinary group of community college faculty who have designed and implemented civic engagement projects in their classrooms. The projects they describe stand at the intersection of research, theory and pedagogy. They challenge dominant constructions of civic engagement as students bring their community, culture and history into the classroom. The authors consider the particular complexities and constraints of doing civically engaged teaching and scholarship at the community college level and situate their projects within current theoretical debates about civic engagement, public scholarship, and public higher education.

Inspired to Write uses powerful and provocative readings to inspire students to write personal and academic essays. The introduction to the Teacher's Manual contains an extensive explanation and description of each type of activity that occurs throughout the Student's Book. In the body of the manual, there are notes on every activity, giving step-by-step instructions and advice. Although answers to many of the exercises will usually vary, in each case the authors have provided typical possible answers.
The third edition of Changes replaces over 50 percent of the readings with yet more compelling pieces of writing that students and teachers are sure to find interesting. The 45 unadapted readings provide student writers at the advanced level with a variety of genres of writing, models of good writing, stimuli for discussion and inspiration to write their own texts. The authors have improved on the successful 2nd edition by weaving into each unit toolboxes that teach essential reading and writing strategies. The authors have also provided more examples of academic discourse and have increased the emphasis on citing sources, a key skill for college writers. The book still has three thematic units. However, the readings are now grouped into thematic subsections. Each reading is accompanied by a full set of pre-and post-reading and pre- and post-writing activities, all of which encourage student collaboration.
