Sample Student 200 Papers

 

 

Texts  for 200 with useful thematic sequences 

  • Rereading America: "Rereading America has remained the most widely adopted book of its kind because of its unique approach to the issue of cultural diversity. Unlike other multicultural composition readers that settle for representing the plurality of American voices and cultures, Rereading America encourages students to grapple with the real differences in perspectives that arise in our complex society. With extensive editorial apparatus that puts readings from the mainstream into conversation with readings from the margins, Rereading America provokes students to explore the foundations and contradictions of our dominant cultural myths."

  • Lusford et al.'s Everyone's An Author. We have two sample chapters: chapter 13, "Analyzing Arguments" and chapter 9, "Let's Take a Closer Look: Writing Analytically." 

  • The New Humanities Reader

  • Contexts Site and textbook: http://contexts.org/  The site and the textbook take key issues - race, immigration, new media, literacy, etc. - and explore them from a range of angles using short texts. Produced by sociologists, but is not narrowly disciplinary and tries to find articles that are accessible and engaging. The site also includes many examples of public sphere writing, and of writing intended to enact change.

  • The Presence of Others (Bedford St. Martins) textbook. "Presenting widely varying opinions on provocative topics, The Presence of Others invites every student to enter a dialogue with the readings and with accompanying commentaries from the editors, student writers, and experts in other disciplines and fields. Noted scholars Andrea A. Lunsford and John J. Ruszkiewicz — whose takes on political and academic culture differ markedly — have selected a range of visual and written texts that cover issues of importance in academic and public life, from education to ethics, science and technology to American cultural myths." 

 

Lunsford et al's Everyone's An Author

This text will be published by Norton in August 2012. It looks useful. Advanced  We will try to get desk copies for teachers who'd like to try this text out.
