<P>This collection of activities for the composition classroom includes dozens of practical, useful, successful, and accessible exercises that have been developed and implemented by writing instructors from all over the country. The editors have assembled a collection of tried-and-proven teaching activities to help both novice and experienced teachers plan, prepare, and implement writing instruction in college. As two educators who have been teaching writing in the field for more than a decade, they have created the resource they wished they had. The book addresses many elements that are at the core of teaching first-year composition, providing engaging and inspiring ways to teach: rhetoric; composing and revising; argument and synthesis; visual and social media; reading skills; foundational research; and grammar and language. It also provides ways to think outside of the curriculum to engage students in active learning that goes beyond the class syllabus. By focusing on and emphasizing pedagogical practices, this book strengthens and brings to the forefront the practical to transform how students learn from, interact with, and experience first-year composition instruction.</P>
