Overview

In Concert offers integrated thematic instruction at the paragraph and essay level. Each chapter's content is presented in the context of a resonant theme, designed to engage you with topics such as overcoming adversity, Internet dating and the Black Lives Matter movement. Student and professional essays start each chapter and serve as the basis for instruction, illustration and practice. Author Kathleen McWhorter emphasizes critical thinking throughout, which will prepare you for your college courses and beyond.

The 3rd Edition is the second text in a 2-part series that illustrates reading and writing as a single process of understanding and expressing ideas, which really do work together in concert. This volume explores paragraphs and essays; In Harmony concentrates on sentences and paragraphs.
