Connections: Reading and Writing in Cultural Contexts - Softcover

This thematically arranged reader offers 76 selections from various genres, complemented by substantial reading, writing, and research instruction. The structure, the apparatus, and the readings in Connections all lead students to seek relationships: among the processes of reading, writing, and thinking; among the cultures that are represented by the diverse selections; and, most of all, between the students’ reading, writing, and thinking and the processes of their own lives. The collection offers numerous models of student writing at each stage of the writing process, including complete MLA and APA research papers.
