Cheryl Glenn takes the familiar rhetorical reader genre in exciting new directions, revealing to students how the nine classic rhetorical methods underlie a surprising range of daily discourse -- from restaurant menus to online catalogs to campaign speeches -- as well as the writing they will need to do in college and beyond. Making Sense offers many well-known selections that have long served as excellent classroom models, but it also provides a stimulating choice of new readings, visual elements, and supporting instruction to show how the rhetorical methods continue to serve the needs of today's writers both inside and outside the classroom, including civic and other public contexts.
