Patterns Plus: A Short Prose Reader with Argumentation,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Arranged rhetorically, this anthology of short essays and paragraphs suits both essaylevel developmental writing and freshman composition courses. Each chapter focuses on a different rhetorical mode, from narration and description to process writing. Three features make Patterns Plus a perennial bestseller: an engaging mix of nonfiction, fiction, and student essays with a careful consideration of multicultural issues; a strong pedagogical apparatus that helps develop comprehension, analytical, and writing skills; and clear presentation of the writing process and paragraph/essay structure. The Ninth Edition includes new student readings, as well as works by wellknown writers such as Thomas Friedman, Walter Kirn, and Anna Quindlen. Updated pedagogical tools offer developmental students exactly what they need to master the content, including prereading, vocabulary, and postreading questions that test comprehension and encourage critical analysis of each selection.
