OverviewTalk to the Hand: Doing the Write Way provides students with a simple approach to college-level writing that makes the process much less complicated and daunting. The book equips readers with a step-by-step guide that renders the act of writing as easy as looking at a person's hand. The opening chapter introduces the hand theory, with the palm of an open hand representing the thesis statement of an essay or paper and each finger representing a main point. Within this framework, additional chapters explore the differences between formal and informal writing, forms of writing and communication that are present in popular and everyday lives, and problem-solving or proposal writing. Students learn about the power of persuasion and understanding needs, expectations, and possibilities of an intended audience. They learn how to reimagine their work to strengthen their thesis and expand beyond the original foundation of a piece of writing. Each chapter features Scholar in Training boxes, preparation questions and rubrics for each step in the writing process, writing examples to illustrate key points, reflection opportunities, exercises, peer editing sheets, and valuable writing reminders to support the overall learning experience. An interactive and essential resource, Talk to the Hand is an ideal textbook for freshman composition courses. It is also an exemplary guide for all students entering higher education regardless of their academic disciplines. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Pamela M.
