Product Description:
This immediately engaging composition resource features a thematically-organized collection of readings, a modes-based rhetoric, and a concise handbook.
Between Worlds opens with more than 75 multi-genre readings reflecting the human condition of being “in between”–generations, cultures, genders, perceptions, points of view. A substantial rhetoric section traces several student papers-in-progress through the prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing processes and explores the rhetorical strategies using student and professional essays as models. A research chapter with information on using and documenting sources in MLA and APA style and a brief handbook section are also included. Between Worlds emphasizes the importance of reading, critical thinking, and analysis in all college writing assignments.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Excellent for College Composition Instructors
A teaching colleague of mine recommended this text for use in the freshman comp English class I was teaching. Although the text is pricey, it is well worth it, since it operates on the three levels stated in the title. You have a plethora of instructional content (my students appreciated the relevancy of the articles, and enjoyed the one-act play included), plus grammatical instruction, and assistance through the inclusion of rhetorical guidelines. It is an invaluable tool for use in the classroom. ... Read More
Rating:  - An interesting approach!
I read this book for an English composition course I took in college two years ago. I normally sell my books back, but Between Worlds is full of short stories and writing tips that I wanted to keep. It's so much more interesting than a standard English comp textbook.
