“What Students Need to Know about Today's Job Crisis” by Don Bertram from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

“Duel at High Noon: A Replay of Cormier's Works” by Kathy Neal Headley

NEW EMPHASIS ON VISUAL LITERACY

Personal, Academic, and Workplace Writing (PAW). Students are exposed to examples of writing that reflect the three key realms of their lives - personal, academic, and workplace. They will find models, activities, and examples for any writing situation. Icons identifying personal, academic, and workplace writing are integrated throughout the chapters.
