SEE why this is the book students want to read After shaking up writing classrooms at more than 550 colleges,
universities, and high schools, Understanding Rhetoric, the comic-style guide to writing that instructors have told us gets “nothing but positive responses from students,” has returned for a third edition! Combining the composition know-how of Liz Losh and Jonathan Alexander with the comic-art credibility of Kevin Cannon (Far Arden, Crater XV) and Zander Cannon (Heck, Kaijumax), Understanding Rhetoric encourages deep engagement with core concepts of writing and
rhetoric, as teachers and students alike have told us. With brand new coverage of fake news, sourcing the source, podcasting as publishing, and support for common writing assignments, the new edition of the one and only composition comic covers what students need to know—and does so with fun and flair. And the detailed instructor’s manual will help both novice and experienced instructors plan a course around Understanding Rhetoric. Advice students need to succeed in first-year writing courses—in an engaging comic format. Understanding Rhetoric takes a rhetorical approach to the composition course, asking students to analyze the choices they and other writers make. The illustrations make challenging concepts (such as synthesis, ethos/pathos/logos, and a writer’s identity) both clear and fun to read about, while visual reference features offer the quick help that student writers need. Student-friendly ReFrame sections with a focus on applying each chapter’s advice. Student characters Luis, Cindy, and Carol “reframe” the key concepts of each chapter by tackling assignments such as analyzing written and visual texts and doing ethnographic research. A “Walk the Talk” game-board spread within each ReFrame helps students see how to put concepts to use in their own reading and writing. Assignments at the end of each chapter. Each set of assignments includes a visual strand calling for analysis of images (including the contents of the chapters themselves) and suggested writing prompts for individual or collaborative projects, such as an analysis of the rhetoric of an online profile or a proposal for writing based on firsthand experience. Plentiful instructor support. An instructor’s manual offers advice from Liz Losh and Jonathan Alexander, as well as
Jasmine Lee, and Keith McCleary, two instructors with experience teaching with Understanding Rhetoric. This helpful resource offers detailed advice for structuring a course using Understanding Rhetoric, support for instructors teaching with comics for the first time, and a robust set of assignment ideas and class activities, with additional resources available on the Macmillan Community.
