Writing in the Works?an innovative rhetoric, reader, research guide, and handbook?treats students as writers rather than as students who write. Throughout the text, engaging assignments encourage students to view themselves as writers in many different contexts?in their personal lives, in their academic careers, and in their roles as group and community members?thus providing them with important, satisfying, and practical reasons to write. A comprehensive ancillary package complements the text with dynamic learning tools for students and time-saving, course management resources for instructors. The supplements include the Online Study Center for students, the WriteSpace online writing program, and the SMARTHINKING live, online tutoring service. >Ten assignment chapters?organized from least to most complex and from personal to public writing?present a genre within one or more rhetorical modes. Students learn, for example, elements of narration through memoirs and news stories
