This unique composition resource features a thematically-organized collection of readings, a modes-based rhetoric, and a concise handbook. This unusually constructed text opens with more than 60 readings-essays, stories, poems, and a play, all centered around the theme of "in-between-ness"-being caught between generations, living with diverse cultures, dealing with gender conflicts, and exploring differing perceptions of the self and others. A substantial rhetoric section traces several student papers-in-progress through the prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing processes and covers the rhetorical strategies using student and professional essays as models. A research chapter with information on using and documenting sources in MLA and APA style and a brief handbook section are also included. Between Worlds emphasizes the importance of reading, critical thinking, and analysis in all college writing assignments.

Excellent for College Composition Instructors,
By Roxie "newbie college instructor" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Between Worlds: A Reader, Rhetoric, and Handbook, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
A teaching colleague of mine recommended this text for use in the freshman comp English class I was teaching. Although the text is pricey, it is well worth it, since it operates on the three levels stated in the title. You have a plethora of instructional content (my students appreciated the relevancy of the articles, and enjoyed the one-act play included), plus grammatical instruction, and assistance through the inclusion of rhetorical guidelines. It is an invaluable tool for use in the classroom. The only mistake I made was adding other texts for use in the class--next time around, I will rely more on the use of this textbook (since the cost is higher than many other composition texts), and limit my other fictional reading requirement.
