Abstract

The perfect balance of readings and writing instruction

Back to the Lake presents reading and writing strategies together using marginal annotations to show the connections. Readings arranged by strategy and written by classic, contemporary, and student writers are balanced with writing advice. Now with new readings including ones debating the value of “grit” new advice on reading critically, and a new chapter on editing sentences.

Taking its title from “Once More to the Lake,” the classic essay by E. B. White found in all rhetorically arranged readers, Back to the Lake offers much that is new, from 40 readings never before anthologized in a composition reader to templates to help students get started.

A fresh take on the modes, showing that they are used in texts of all kinds, not just in essays written for first-year composition and that they are central to all the writing, speaking, and thinking that we do.
Back to the Lake 3e includes new chapters on writing paragraphs and using rhetorical modes in academic writing which shows how the patterns taught in this book are used in the kinds of writing college students are expected to do. New readings are on timely topics that will engage students. Templates and marginal notes that explicitly link the readings and the writing instruction help students apply the lessons in this book to their own writing.
