GET WRITING: PARAGRAPHS AND ESSAYS, 3RD EDITION teaches students to think and plan before they write. Students evaluate their own and others' writing with a focus on critical thinking and revision. This resource helps those who are struggling to write, including high school graduates, returning students, or those for whom English is a second language. Integrated exercises let readers practice what they have learned, while annotated first and revised drafts of student papers provide realistic models. Writing samples demonstrate how writers understand context, use strategies, and make language choices. Writing prompts and collaborative writing projects teach students to write personal, academic, or work-related papers.
