Wordsmith was written to counter students’ objections to textbooks being too dry, too irrelevant, and too big, and is Pearson’s value-priced option that students will appreciate across the developmental writing curriculum. Pamela Arlov wrote the Wordsmith series for instructors who genuinely want to connect with their students. To engage students and enable instructors to meet students where they are, Pam Arlov provides students with just the right balance of instruction and practice via relevant instruction, plenty of visuals, and an inviting writing style that students really respond to. Wordsmith covers the rhetorical modes, is realistic, and does not overwhelm students with too much information. 0205252001 / 9780205252008 Wordsmith: A Guide to College Writing (with MyWritingLab with Pearson eText Student Access Code Card) Package consists of 0205251277 / 9780205251278 Wordsmith: A Guide to College Writing 0205752624 / 9780205752621 MyWritingLab with Pearson eText -- Valuepack Access Card

This is an excellent guide for teaching students the basic structure of the language. The acquisition is perfect for students in college. Specifically, the presentation is geared toward developing writing skills to critique high quality literature in the English Composition and Literature courses, as well as writing across the curriculum.
I taught the upper-level developmental writing courses, and this is one of my favorite books. The instruction is lively, clear, and concise--yet jam packed with information. So many students struggle with writing introductions, conclusions, and thesis statements. Unlike most books that jam all three topics into one chapter, this book breaks it down into three separate chapters with very clear, interesting examples and exercises to help you develop the skills and the craft of writing.I often advised my students to hold on to this book when they leave my class and move on to Comp 1 and 2; the lessons here will them through to the more advanced courses. When I tutored comp 1 students in the lab, I'd introduce them to this book and told them, "If you don't understand a concept in your current book, turn to the appropriate topic in this book and work on those exercises.The only reason I didn't give this five stars is because I didn't like the grammar section all that much.
Great book for those attending college or simply want/need to learn better writing practices. The textbook is an easy read with its straightforward word choice and chapter structuring.
just what i needed for school and it was shipped fast to me to have in time for school. thanks
Great find.
The book was in good condition and cheaper than at the school store. Good sale, good buy!
