Focus on Writing offers clear, thorough coverage of college writing, with a chapter design that puts writing first. The Focus on Writing strand in Chapters 2-17 prompts students to write, learn essential concepts as they follow a student model, and apply those concepts to their own writing in a series of manageable steps. The text also empowers students with a unique tool for assessing and revising their work: the easy-to-grasp, easy-to-remember TEST (Topic sentence or Thesis statement, Evidence, Summary statement, and Transitions). A complete three-in-one text, Focus on Writing not only covers the process of writing paragraphs and essays but also includes a grammar guide with exercises and an essay collection. Supplementary online grammar practice through LaunchPad Solo for Readers and Writers rounds out this complete package.
