New chapter “Artificial Intelligence and Writing”: This chapter helps instructors and students navigate the treacherous waters of generative AI (GenAI) and writing. It answers frequently asked questions about artificial intelligence and underscores the importance of abiding by the GenAI policies of the student’s institution. The chapter also outlines ethical and unethical uses of GenAI. Throughout the book, Insight on AI features put the issue in context.

New high-interest models: Many new models from professional and student writers engage students while demonstrating strong writing. These models provide a diversity of voices and encourage students to discover their own voices through writing.
-
Streamlined instruction: The fully revised text focuses on concision, helping students more quickly grasp each strategy and put it to use. Succinct instruction removes barriers to understanding and helps students learn.
-
Fully revised “Voice” chapter: Chapter 8 now teaches voice using the STRAP strategy for rhetorical analysis. This approach helps students analyze the voice of different writers and develop their own writing voice, matching it to audience and purpose.
-
New design: The new design makes the material easier to teach and easier to learn. This edition focuses on clarity but also features many new images that welcome students into the pages. The design “chunks” instruction and uses page spreads to help students learn without constantly flipping pages.
-
The authors’ unique STRAP pedagogy: Used throughout the book, this pedagogy provides students with a consistent framework for approaching any reading or writing task by asking them to identify these five elements -- Subject, Type, Role, Audience and Purpose --before they begin.
-
Integrated structure: Parallel reading and writing strategies are introduced in Chapter 1, "The Reading-Writing Connection," and reinforced throughout the text. Chapter 1 also introduces students to the five shared features of reading and writing assignments. This integrated guidance allows students to recognize the reciprocal and reinforcing relationship between reading and writing.
-
Guided practice: Review and Enrichment sections allow students to immediately practice reading and writing skills as they are introduced. Reading for Enrichment activities include background on the reading, prereading questions, comprehension and vocabulary questions, critical thinking activities and relevant writing prompts.
