Description Backpack Writing uses written instruction and visual tools to teach students how to read, write, and research effectively for different purposes in a brief travel-friendly format. This revolutionary new aims-based writing guide, (a concise version of Writing: A Guide for College and Beyond) brings together Lester Faigley’s clear and inviting teaching style and Dorling Kindersley’s accessible and striking design. Unique, dynamic presentations of reading, writing, and research processes in the text bring writing alive for students and speak to students with many learning styles. Throughout the book, Lester Faigley keeps students engaged and learning, with such notable features as “Process Maps” to guide students through the major writing assignments, extensive examples of student “Writers at work,” and diverse, distinctive reading selections. Here’s what teachers are saying: “Lester Faigley's book is a winner for composition classes!” —Bennis Blue, Virginia State University “My favorite part of A Backpack Guide to Writing is 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. Table of Contents PART 1 The Writer as Explorer 1.
