Backpack Writing (2nd Edition)
Here’s what teachers are saying:“Lester Faigley's book is a winner for composition classes!”—Bennis Blue,Virginia State University “My favorite part ofA Backpack Guide to Writingis the use of student writing. I love how the student texts are shown  in Chapters 8-14, particularly how the student’s writing process is  shown. I’ve never seen that done in any other text I’ve used in my ten  years of working with college students, and I think it would be so  helpful to my students.”—Sara Webb-Sunderhaus,Indiana University Purdue University, Fort Wayne “A Backpack Guide to Writingis distinctive because it situates writing in activities students understand and value: discovering, exploring, journeying.”—Maureen Murphy,Dakota State University“The readings inA Backpack Guide to Writingare a diverse and eclectic set of examples that show students how to  write different essays different ways and also provide a lot of fodder  for class discussion and short assignment writing, longer essays and  journal writing.”– Michael Dubson,Bunker Hill Community College “The most distinctive and special aspect ofA Backpack Guide to Writingis its use of visuals to communicate ideas. I have found that to a  greater and greater degree, students understand visual representations  of ideas to linguistic ones.  I have worked hard over the last 3-4  years to find ways of communicating with my students in ways that are  more visual in nature – charts, graphs, diagrams, etc.  This text  does this and does it very well. I think that many of the students I  have will benefit from this greatly.”– Michael Boyd,Illinois Central CollegeAnd here’s what students are saying: “This is one of the most helpful, thorough, and resourceful texts I’ve seen thus far.”– Lauren Olsen,Castleton State College“This book is more eye catching to me, and more informational. I will actually read this book!”– Abbey Kline,Ball State University“I like the fact that with the visual pictures I could understand the readings better.”– Jorge Arias,Grand Valley State University--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
