More DescriptionPathways, 2/e, is a textbook and workbook in one, for students needing a comprehensive, but carefully packed, review of the basics of writing essays, paragraphs, and sentences. Grammar is treated as an integral part of the editing stage during the writing process rather than in isolation so that students can understand the relevancy of grammar skills as they attempt to transfer text information to their individual papers. In addition to diagnostic and review exercises in each chapter, the text includes an array of planning, composing, revising, and editing exercises many of which require students to apply what they are being taught to their own writing assignments. The text also offers students a more realistic view of writing by presenting the rhetorical strategies as choices or options to achieving writing goals. Eighteen professional readings have been added to the new edition, providing students with additional models for analysis.
