Your Writing: Rhetoric for Reflective Writers</span></b><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#212529;mso-ligatures:none"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212529;mso-ligatures:none">By E. Shelley Reid<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212529;mso-ligatures:none">With its emphasis on both rhetoric and reflection, <i>Rethinking Your Writing</i> foregrounds the inquiry and decision-making processes that help writers succeed in today's writing task—and
transfer that learning to the next one. Students are invited to move beyond “just do it” writing to more deliberately predict, problem-solve, and reflect throughout their process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212529;mso-ligatures:none">Created from the start as an online book, <i>Rethinking </i>also helps support instructors as they engage students with many kinds of writing tasks, from typical first-year assignments like
narratives and research-based arguments to writing that happens in response to more complex rhetorical situations, such as community-based writing, writing in multiple genres, and writing across disciplines:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="mso-ligatures:none">The modular, cross-linked design helps faculty assign and students locate information needed for any writing situation.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="mso-ligatures:none">In-depth, student-friendly sections guide students’ thinking on vital but less visible elements of writing, such as threshold concepts, rhetorical analysis,
reflective practice, peer review, writers’ dispositions, critical reading, research processes, and questions of equity.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="mso-ligatures:none">A book-wide focus on how writers choose their approaches based on their goals, resources, and constraints supports learners who are exploring new genres and
audiences, and lays the groundwork for discussion of how writers use tools like Generative AI.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#212529;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="mso-ligatures:none">More than 70 innovative writing exercises help writers explore and practice relevant strategies.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212529;mso-ligatures:none">In <i>Rethinking Your Writing</i>, E. Shelley Reid provides a versatile guide that can be tailored to the needs of almost any course or classroom. Whether you select a single module to supplement
your current resources or use the text throughout your course, this book is designed to help you engage your students and deepen their understanding of how writers learn and succeed in school, their careers, and beyond.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can find the book at <a href="https://wac.colostate.edu/books/practice/rethinking/">
https://wac.colostate.edu/books/practice/rethinking/</a>. <span lang="EN">This book, like other books published by the Clearinghouse, will be available in a print edition from University Press of Colorado in the coming months. Thanks to
</span>Shelley for her <span lang="EN">work on the book and for her decision to share it with us as an open-access publication. Thanks as well to the anonymous peer reviewers who contributed to its development. </span>All the best,<span lang="EN"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
