The Norton Field Guide to Writing with Readings by ISBN: 9780393884074Publication Date: 2022-01-05The Norton Field Guide lets instructors teach the way they want to teach, and helps students write in the way that works best for them. In the Sixth Edition, new coauthor Deborah Bertsch shows students how to adapt their writing to new rhetorical situations with three new chapters--Remixes, Explorations, and Reflecting on Your Writing. More inclusive than ever, the new edition features thirty new readings, including seventeen written by students, that offer fresh and inspiring sources for writing. New videos and interactive activities in InQuizitive for Writers reveal multiple ways to understand and apply the book's advice, and are complemented by new instructor resources that respond to today's teaching challenges.
