Book Description

While some writing books present isolated examples of critical thinking, Cavina's Critical Thinking and Writing systematically links concepts of critical thinking and writing through all phases of the writing process. By emphasizing those concepts that are of the greatest use to writers and by treating these concepts sequentially, the book maximizes your understanding of how critical thinking can sharpen your writing. Critical Thinking and Writing begins in Part One with a clear outline of the rhetorical/writing process and how it relates to the notion of critical thinking. In Parts Two and Three, you will focus on the specifics of sentence construction and word usage. Part Four includes readings by professional and student writers that offer a multitude of perspectives and topic coverage. Taking a discovery approach, Critical Thinking and Writing encourages you to expand and reinforce your writing skills through many individual and collaborative activities.
