Successful College Writing moves first-year composition students—whatever their level of preparedness—toward achieving their goals in college through a unique visual approach and extra support for academic reading and writing.
Kathleen T. McWhorter’s supportive, visual approach is evident in graphic organizers, flowcharts, and Guided Writing Assignments that provide hands-on writing activities and practical, step-by-step instruction for drafting and revising.
In the eighth edition, McWhorter includes even more help for students learning how to write for an academic audience:
New “Academic Writing” sections throughout Parts 1 and 2 show students how to accomplish the kinds of writing tasks they will be expected to complete in college
“Explore, Research, Write” assignments move students toward effective source-based writing
“Just-in-Time Tips” call students’ attention to challenging features in a reading and offer strategies for understanding and thinking critically about that reading.
