Using her unique M-A-P approach (Model-Analysis-Practice), Susan Fawcett's books have guided more than three million students through the writing process, from foundations of grammar, mechanics, and spelling through writing clear sentences to well-organized paragraphs and essays. Her inductive approach; many high-interest practices and student models; critical-thinking and viewing focus; and contemporary readings engage and motivate students. Accuracy, excellence, and modular organization are hallmarks of this series. This new Eleventh Edition of GRASSROOTS triples the writing coverage-with new Chapters 5 and 6, 'Thinking Through the Writing Patterns.' Also featured are new critical-thinking and viewing assignments throughout; eight fresh reading selections focused on issues and ideas, not narrative; and a new emphasis on academic and third-person writing.
