Critical Thinking, Thoughtful Writing: A Rhetoric with Readings - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Written by leading educators in interdisciplinary critical thinking, this popular rhetoric with readings makes a direct link between learning to write and read effectively and developing critical- thinking skills. Each chapter focuses on a particular critical-thinking skill, such as problem solving or analyzing complex issues, which is practiced and explored through Thinking-Writing Activities and thematically linked readings. Students further develop these skills through carefully sequenced pedagogy that promotes writing and a cross-disciplinary approach that asks them to critically evaluate a variety of readings.

• Four Characteristics of a Critical Thinker (open-mindedness, creativity, curiosity, and knowledge), adapted from the authors' text, Thinking Critically, are woven consistently throughout the text's pedagogy, presented as achievable goals.
• The reading apparatus includes brief biographical headnotes before each selection and post-reading questions designed to prompt students to focus on matters of rhetoric and comprehension as well as on thinking more critically and creatively.
• Annotated student essays with process models, which illustrate the Four Characteristics of a Critical Thinker, are supported by process materials to demonstrate how each student worked through the stages of the writing process.
• APA coverage, illustrated by a sample paper, accompanies the research chapter, which also includes updated MLA documentation coverage and sample paper.
