Upholding the same instructor- and student-praised features of the comprehensive Writing for Life (emphasizing visual learning and critical thinking in every chapter), Writing Matters offers the practical tools today’s students need to take charge of their learning so they can each find a writing process that works efficiently and effectively for them. More information about the differences between Writing Matters and Writing for Life is available under the “New to This Edition.”
Writing Matters offers robust writing instruction in Parts 1-3 but uses MyWritingLab as the vehicle for grammar and practice in the grammar overviews of Part 4. These overviews have been condensed down to two to three pages of instruction and examples with a link to MyWritingLab for better practice and more exercises. It is the only book of its kind and students will easily and efficiently master grammar.
