Glenn/Gray's THE WRITER'S HARBRACE HANDBOOK, 7th ed. is grounded in the belief that understanding the rhetorical situation -- the writer, reader, message, context and opportunity for writing -- gives a valuable starting point for effective writing and critical reading. This comprehensive handbook guides student writers across the curriculum in using that rhetorical understanding in choosing the most cogent information to include, the best arrangement and delivery, and the most appropriate language to use. THE WRITER'S HARBRACE HANDBOOK also provides authentic sample student papers and instructions for completing similar assignments. The 7th ed. also addresses criteria in the WPA Outcomes Statement for First-Year Composition (version 3.0).
