Description

Inspired to Write offers a choice of 45 readings taken from a variety of genres, including personal essays, stories, newspaper and magazine articles, and academic texts. The readings in the Student's Book provide students with models of good writing, stimuli for discussion, and inspiration for their own writing. This text is written by the same authors as Changes, which this volume now replaces. It includes 15 of the most popular readings from that text and maintains the same student-centered and collaborative approach. The new book has three units, divided into four thematic subsections. It features Toolboxes and Writer's tip boxes that are woven throughout the text, each presenting essential skill strategies. Also, compared to Changes, there is an increased emphasis on academic discourse and academic writing skills, such as citing sources.
