Author Description

Using an innovative approach to teaching writing, author Scott Rice shows students how to read like writers. Students learn that active reading leads to better writing-by exercising the same judgment as professional writers, manipulating the same elements, and being involved in the same steps that drive every writing task. The text demonstrates how reading and revision can support one another, and how students can use revision to become more involved in their reading. They also learn how to apply the standards and techniques acquired from reading to their won revisions.
