A Community of Writers: A Workshop Course in Writing 3rd

This groundbreaking rhetoric/reader is known for its practical, workshop approach. Addressing students as writers, A COMMUNITY OF WRITERS features numerous writing activities and assignments that challenge students to develop their skills by writing often, by exploring their writing processes, and by sharing their writing with others.

Abstract

The third edition features a new design and incorporates expanded treatment of argumentation and research, in-depth coverage of the Internet (including a mini-workshop on composing a web page) and computer-based writing, coverage of visual literacy, more material on drafting, and a variety of new student and professional essays.

Elbow & Belanoff offer a variety of pre-writing strategies, drafting tips, single and group assignments, and peer-editing activities. The book is very readable; the writers put the practical suggestions in the body of the chapter, and the detailed theory of WHY the suggestions work is in special sections at the end. Those students who want to know why certain strategies work can get the answers without bogging down the rest of the class. Each assignment comes with process journal questions, which force the students to analyze their own writing and which lead smoothly into the writing autobiography assignment at the end. Due to the author's excellent explanations and samples of various peer-review methods, I have fewer problems with and student complaints about peer-review with this text than with any other I have tried.
