The Writer's Way
"I have been a loyal fan of the book because students report: "It's not like reading a textbook." "Rawlins is funny and it's like he is talking to me directly." "Rawlins doesn't go on and on but gets right to the point.""Overall, I appreciate the approach of this book, which is much more grounded in actual student experiences, perceptions, and writing processes than the typical "rhetoric" textbook. THE WRITER'S WAY speaks to students where they are. Most helpful, I think, are the study tips at the beginning. Few textbooks bother to address the basics of sound study habits.""THE WRITER'S WAY introduces and builds upon methods, modes, and purposes for writing, enabling teachers to emphasize to students that learning to write is a constant process of growth and accretion-a process that never actually ends."
