Features
- This writing guide introduces students to analyzing and composing in diverse genres, such as posters, editorial and opinion pieces, essays, and research projects. In Chapters 10-14 students learn about different genres by first doing a rhetorical analysis, then reading examples of each genre, and finally developing compositions of their own in each genre.
- Chapters 1-3 introduce students to the basics of the composing process, with an emphasis on the rhetorical concepts of audience, purpose, context, and design.
- Chapter 4 on “researching” walks students through the research process, from developing an initial research question to producing a research project.
- Chapter 8 on “advocacy” teaches students how they can use written, visual, and oral communication to advocate for change, to do work in the “public” world. It also includes several readings that show others practicing such “civic” communication.
- Chapters 5-7 teach students key vocabulary and concepts for working in each of the three “modes” of communication — written, visual, and oral. Here each “mode” is treated in depth, in its own chapter, with numerous examples and practice assignments.
- Reading selections in Compose, Design, Advocate are diverse and engaging — they range from Gary Smith’s “Higher Education,” to U.S. wartime recruiting posters, to opinion pieces concerned with video game violence, to Lynda Barry's "Common Sense."
- “Thinking through production” assignments throughout the book encourage students to practice composing in different genres and using the tools of written, visual, and oral communication.
- The book is written AND designed by Anne Wysocki and Dennis Lynch. In Compose, Design, Advocate, the authors have worked hard to practice good principles of written and visual communication, and to also create a book with a distinctive look and voice.

The genre chapters, Chapters 10-14, have been revised to better guide students in how to move from their analysis of the genre to writing in the genre. Each of these chapters includes a strategy box that alerts students to the key approaches used in the genre being studied.
