About the Book

From academic essays to blogs, magazine articles to social media posts, newspaper editorials to public service announcements, and advertisements to emails, The Real World Reader brings together a wide collection of formal writing with an equally diverse array of popular writing from everyday life. This innovative rhetorical reader for first-year composition courses divides the process of rhetorical analysis into logically sequenced steps that focus on five key concepts-purpose, audience, argument, voice, and credibility. Author James Miller encourages students to use this step-by-step process in order to identify, analyze, and master the multiple modes of writing that they will encounter at school, work, and home. Features * Uses a rhetorical framework to teach writing--rather than examining different modes of writing in isolation--and reveals what all forms of writing have in common * Introduces rhetorical concepts through a variety of informal and formal writing examples, showing students how rhetorical patterns intersect * Combines step-by-step writing instruction with a scaffold of sixty-seven diverse readings, allowing students to critically write and read four distinct types of selections: informal, formal, and academic selections and sample student essays * Connects rhetorical analysis to cultural analysis with content that ranges from debates on multiculturalism to discussions of online privacy and from critiques of modern political campaigning to analyses of modern consumerism * Focuses on familiar, "real world" writing, demonstrating the important role that writing plays in everyday life

About the Author :
James S. Miller is Associate Professor of Languages & Literatures at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.

Review :
"The Real World Reader fills a niche that no other reader has yet filled. It plays to students' strengths as internet users, readers, and writers."--Alice Eaton, Springfield College "Thoughtful and reflective."--Marjorie Stewart, Glenville State College "This reader will appeal to forward-thinking professors who view popular culture--the lifeblood of their students--as a vehicle for motivating and engaging students, and for preparing them for the marketplace."--Annie S. Perkins, Norfolk State University "Rhetorical analyses provide students with a widely applicable set of skills. The practice as outlined in the book reinforces the relationship between clear reading, thinking, and writing."--Stephen A. Raynie, Gordon State College "I champion the idea of students being both consumers and producers of multimodal texts. This is a good text for adjuncts and instructors new to our program's philosophy, because it provides the theory within the apparatus."--Kim Haimes-Korn, Southern Polytechnic State University
