The book begins by detailing the author's past experiences as a student writer, how he came to believe that academic writing should be an entertaining activity, and the importance of play and performance in creating an entertaining written work. Next, it explores the act of "reading-to-write" as playful performance, challenging students to develop a joyful and investigative approach to research. Additional chapters show students how to transform everyday topics—namely, being a student, being a community member, and using technology—into compelling, persuasive academic works.
Featuring a highly approachable style, opportunities for experimental writing, and a fresh approach, College Writing is a great resource for foundational courses in composition, college writing, and English. The text is also ideal for student success and student orientation programs.
