Revel for the Curious Writer, Complete Edition -- Combo Access Card

Book excerpt: REVEL(TM) for The Curious Writer doesn't read like a textbook or provide a formula for composing essays. Instead, it encourages students to suspend judgment, to ask questions, and to seek answers much like academics do. Yet it covers a wide range of genres beyond the academic essay - narrative, profile, review, ethnography, argument, and more - all with a distinctive approach and "personality" that is lacking in other resources. It also reinforces the assumption that genres are malleable with a new chapter on repurposing or "re-genre-ing." Students love that T he Curious Writer helps them learn to write by pursuing their own curiosity. Teachers appreciate that Ballenger gives students ample opportunity to develop the habits of mind necessary to become critical thinkers and curious writers. REVEL is Pearson's newest way of delivering our respected content. Fully digital and highly engaging, REVEL gives students everything they need for the course. Informed by extensive research on how people read, think, and learn, REVEL is an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience - for less than the cost of a traditional textbook. NOTE: This Revel Combo Access pack includes a Revel access code plus a loose-leaf print reference (delivered by mail) to complement your Revel experience. In addition to this access code, you will need a course invite link, provided by your instructor, to register for and use Revel.
