CAIRO BOOKS's Description
THE THOMSON HANDBOOK, PREVIEW EDITION is an early look at the rhetorical
handbook for the digital age. THE THOMSON HANDBOOK puts students' writing front
and center with an innovative page format that keeps students' attention
focused on their own writing and on activities, checklists, projects, and
visual aids that help them write. The page design and innovative visuals make
information about writing, reading, research, documentation, technology, and
grammar easy for students to access and understand. To accomplish their writing
tasks, students are taught to ground their rhetorical decisions in the specific
context in which they are writing. As a further aid to writing and research,
THE THOMSON HANDBOOK gives students more and better information on using
technology than any other handbook. Technology Toolboxes throughout, as well as
two dedicated parts of the book (Parts 5 and 6), teach students how to apply
technology to their writing tasks, whether the task is to write a personal
essay, a persuasive essay, a critical review, a photographic essay, a
technology autobiography, a blog, a website, or more than twenty other
different kinds of writing projects.
