-- Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE "Nexus" presents the traditional rhetorical modes as different ways of thinking about our contemporary world, no matter the medium. It builds on students' multimedia communication skills by using a mix of readings in contemporary and traditional genres to improve students' college writing skills. "Nexus" starts where students' interests lie--with engaging essays, interviews, blog conversations, Web sites, and YouTube videos. These "readings" are presented in a lively, highly visual format that draws on the daily environment in which students are immersed, including electronic and visual sources that are stimulating, energizing, and directly related to topics they are studying.While the format of "Nexus" is contemporary and stimulating, the content is substantive and pedagogically sound. Students are asked continually throughout this text to pull ideas from multiple media and respond to them first with critical thinking and writing and then by creating a project through a written, oral, visual, or electronic medium of their own choice. 0321987845 / 9780321987846 Nexus: A Rhetorical Reader for Writers Plus NEW MyWritingLab with Pearson eText -- Access Card PackagePackage consists of 0205870147 / 9780205870141 NEW MyWritingLab with Pearson eText -- Valuepack Access Card 0321907965 / 9780321907967 Nexus: A Rhetorical Reader for Writers
