"Have you, as a reading and/or writing instructor, asked yourself these questions:
Is there a book that will help me teach both essential reading and essential writing skills? Is there a book that will clearly explain the connection between effective reading and effective writing? is there a book that will provide selections that students will want to read and topics that students will want to write about? If you've asked any of the above questions, The Advanced Reading-Writing Connection may be the book for you. Suitable for combined reading and writing courses, the book teaches students, in a step-by-step way, the skills needed to think, read, and write with clarity.
Part One of the book begins with chapters on main ideas and supporting details in reading. These are followed by a chapter on main ideas and supporting details in writing and a chapter on the steps in the writing process. Then chapters on relationships in reading are followed by chapters on relationships in writing. The final two chapters deal with inferences in reading and writing and argument in reading and writing.
Part Two of the book provides fifteen high-appeal reading selections for extended systematic practice in thinking, reading, and writing both paragraphs and essays.
Finally, Part Three of the book presents information on writing a research paper with sources, as well as a sample research paper in MLA format." (Book Cover) CONTENTS:
