Acting on Words: An Integrated Reader, Rhetoric, and Handbook

The audience for this indigenous Canadian text is first-year university students.

* In one complete package, this book offers the full support needed to enhance a professor's personal approach to first-year composition. Readings, rhetorical instruction, and usage guidelines have been developed to provide engaging, clear, accurate and complete information that serves rather than dictates teaching methods.
* Acting on Words is designed to be explored from various angles, giving instructors the flexibility to begin with readings, writing practice, or grammar review. Whatever the entry point, cross-references throughout the book connect students to other relevant elements. This interlinked structure allows students to skip certain sections or highlight others, without experiencing a sense of “something missing.”
