Overview
For courses in Developmental English with students of varying skill levels, or those in need of additional writing practice prior to college-level writing.
A highly visual, theme-based approach to writing that meets you where you are, and guides you to where you need to be.

The authors’ innovative instruction seamlessly infuses material for both native and nonnative speakers, while their exercises and activities encourage active participation and collaboration. The engaging design, open layout, and dynamic images support visual learners and prompt critical thinking.
