Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"The student essays are a strength. I really like to see an illustrated example or model of a paper as it evolves from draft to draft. I like the line by line editing notes. The emphasis on rhetorical devices is another strength. It's good to see so much of the book dedicated to so many devices of rhetoric. Also, when the book uses outlines, graphs, and charts, it succeeds tremendously."
"The overall organization of the book is effective. All important topics are covered quite thoroughly."
"I really like the idea of having the handbook inside the reader."
"Several years ago, while searching for a text that included the elements which I had found over the years were best for teaching composition, I discovered FROM IDEA TO ESSAY, 11e. It proved to be an excellent text, which I appreciated more during the successive years that I used it to teach my introductory classes. I was pleased to discover the elements I so appreciated in that text were kept in the current edition: an organization that began with an overview of the process of writing, a review of classic rhetorical structure, and grammar." --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This review is from: From Idea to Essay (Paperback)
Even though this is a college textbook, I bought it to use with my high school essay-writing class. I'd had one for years, but I wore it out. Of all the books I've ever used, I feel this one is still the best.
