Mosaics: Focusing on Essays, 3/e

BASIC APPROACH

(Note: This textbook was published by our college division for use by students at post-secondary institutions whose writing skills are below the level needed to succeed in college English. Please review this text carefully to ensure appropriateness of content for your students.)

Students study their own writing! MOSAICS is a three-book writing series that focuses on students learning and studying their own writing as they progress. The essay level teaches the processes and skills common to all good academic writing and includes both professional and student models, as well as a multitude of exercises and activities, which help students apply the techniques and skills to their own writing.

FEATURES

• Focus on students learning from their own writing. In every chapter, students write earlier than in any other text and revise and edit their own writing through the course of the chapters.
  • Helps students learn by working on their own writing, which is a much more effective way to learn than having students work on the writing of others.
• Full-color design.
  • Allows students to identify key elements and concepts more easily and provides a more engaging entry to the material.
• Extensive Instructor Support: Annotated Instructor's Edition/Instructor's Resource Manual/Instructor CD with Kim Flachmann Video—Co-written by Kim Flachmann, the AIE has in-text answers and marginal annotations, the IRM has syllabi, chapter quizzes, additional activities and teaching tips, and the Instructor CD-ROM provides video of the author talking about how to use her books.
  • Gives both experienced and newer teachers the support they need to get the most out of the class and out of the book.
• PHWORDS—Unique online practice and assessment solution that covers the entire developmental writing curriculum. Visit the walkthrough at www.prenhall.com/phwords.
