Description
The text includes writing processes, "Rhetorical Strategies" descriptions and techniques, professional models, and actual PVCC student sample essays for use in the classroom. Questions following all readings and chapter material demonstrate the key concepts of each rhetorical strategy. All Modern Language Association (MLA) rules are current, as the material has been updated to reflect the changes in MLA Handbook, Eighth Edition, published in spring 2016. The "Grammar and Mechanics" section seeks to cover the most common areas concerning student writing with practice exercises. In addition, since PVCC college faculty composed the sections and/or accessed free materials through creative commons websites (with royalties paid to some professional authors or copyright holders of our "Sample Professional Essays" selections), Horse of a Different Color: Composition and English Rhetoric has the ability to be revised with feedback from its users.
