A Sequence for Academic Writing focuses on the critical reading and writing strategies you need to thoughtfully interpret and incorporate source material into your own papers. Building off the hallmark writing instruction of the best-selling Writing and Reading Across the Curriculum, the authors adapted its rhetoric portion for use apart from any additional reading content. The resulting learning resource employs high-interest readings from a range of disciplines that allow you to practice these strategies and skills, along with numerous student papers that model the kinds of academic texts you are expected to produce.

The 7th Edition offers a major revision of a familiar text that freshens examples, clarifies and expands instruction, and generally makes more accessible a book that has helped introduce numerous students to source-based writing in a variety of academic settings.
