505 _a"Applying critical thinking to every step of the writing process! The Write Stuff: Thinking Through Paragraphs is an all-in-one writing text that provides all of the basic information students need to develop their paragraph and short essay skills. Coverage of paragraph writing is complemented by sections devoted to writing from sources, referencing and documentation, and sentence construction as well as a grammar, style, and mechanics handbook.
505 _aOne of the key features of The Write Stuff is its emphasis on building the critical thinking skills students need to analyze information and express their ideas clearly and logically in writing. Chapter One introduces seven critical thinking tools which are then applied to each stage of the writing process as both marginal icons and boxed pedagogical features. Further critical thinking practice is provided for every topic in the form of chapter opening photos and questions, reading reflection and analysis questions, and critical thinking journal prompts."
