Can a writing textbook inform and entertain? Can a very brief
rhetoric also function as a stand-alone guide to college writing?
Yes and yes. Speaking of Writing is a concise yet comprehensive
rhetoric with readings. Informed by scholarship in Writing Studies,
this book follows four college students from diverse backgrounds as
they face the challenges of reading, writing, and critical thinking
in first-year writing and across the disciplines. Each chapter
engages students in relatable, often humorous scenarios that focus
on key challenges. Through its story-based approach, Speaking of
Writing enacts student-centered and process-based pedagogy, showing
students learning to address fundamental questions: How can I apply
my own strategies for success to new assignments? How can I
maintain my own voice when asked to compose in an academic style?
What do college professors mean by a "thesis," and how is this
different from what my high-school teachers meant? Why is this
argument weak, and how can I make it stronger? The book's narrative
vividly dramatizes a draft-and-revision process that includes
instructor feedback, peer review, and careful research.
