Jen in NY Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I finally broke down and bought this diminutive book I've been wanting for a while: http://www.amazon.com/They-Say-Academic-Writing-Edition/dp/0393935841/ref=dp_ob_title_bk and I love it. It is straightforward and practical. It gives explicit instructions about academic writing. If I had but one year to go through something with my daughter before she goes off to college (oh, wait... I *do* have one year!) this would be it. And it will be. LOL. We will choose writing topics having to do with what she is reading and studying. NO MORE AP's. That's our motto. Does your library system have it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen in NY Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 LOL that's funny... I have the 2nd ed... 701 pages. It's still small in comparison to all the giant texts surrounding it on the shelf. I never saw the first edition... but this one says it contains "44 readings that will provoke students to think - and write" with "rhetoric up front and readings in the back." You can probably see the contents of the 2nd ed here:http://www.amazon.com/They-Say-Academic-Writing-Readings/dp/0393912752/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1399484563&sr=1-2&keywords=they+say+i+say+2nd+edition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
