Writing and Research for College: The Structures of Imaginative Literacy (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)

Designed to serve as a kind of primer for the college student entering college, Writing and Research for College: The Structures of Imaginative Literacy engages the student and demonstrates why first-year writing courses are such an important experience for students. Writing and Research for College: The Structures of Imaginative Literacy describes how the reader should have a personal engagement with words before they apply words to any specific writing assignment that they are given. Furthermore, the student’s reading experience will be more profitable after he/she examines the phenomena of words and their own understanding of verbal phenomena. Writing and Research for College: The Structures of Imaginative Literacy: Incorporates popular movies and current events to motivate students to be critical of their own assumptions and viewpoints. Includes several essays that help the reader develop the right assumptions about their engagement with words. Helps develop critical thinking skills related to the students’ reading skills as well as help them with the revision stages of their writing assignments. Attempts to identify verbal and critical thinking competencies that the student will then see as structures of consciousness and inherent to adult-level thinking and communication in whatever environment that person is in.
