Touching on issues that affect students both as individuals and as citizens, the readings and visuals invite students to join important civic "conversations" through their own writing. For each issue addressed, Conversations offers not just one or two selections, but several--reminding students that no issue has just one or two sides, but usually involves a wide range of voices. Frequently, selections comment on and argue with other selections, demonstrating that writing is a social exchange, and that writing is often prompted as a response to that which we read. The images included also remind students that we regularly "read"--that is interpret and respond to--not only words, but visual arguments found in photographs, artworks, cartoons, and advertisements. 0321881710 / 9780321881717 Conversations: Reading for Writing with NEW MyCompLab -- Access Card Package Package consists of: 0205835112 / 9780205835119 Conversations: Reading for Writing 020589190X / 9780205891900 NEW MyCompLab - Valuepack Access Card
