Opis

High-school writing prompts often ask students to provide overly simplified responses to complicated issues, but a person s stance in the real world can rarely, if ever, be reduced to agree or disagree. Arguments are complex, with more than two points of view and a range of evidence to consider; however, writing classes don t always embrace that complexity. Real Writing: Modernizing the Old School Essay contends that engaging fully with complex texts and difficult, nuanced arguments helps students become better thinkers and writers, more fully prepared for life both in and after high school."
