This four-in-one rhetoric prepares students for the writing they will need to do throughout their lives by showing them how to use the skills they are learning not only in college but whenever and wherever they need to write. Based on the idea that effective writers are strong communicators in any context, Writing for College, Writing for Life emphasizes the skills that are summarized in the Writing Program Administrator's Outcomes Statement under the categories rhetorical knowledge, critical thinking, writing processes, and conventions. These skills form the basis of the instruction in each assignment chapter and throughout the text. (The book will also be available in a three-in-one version that omits the grammar handbook.)
