New to this Edition-- Full Chapter on Student Success. Writing Today begins with a chapter helping students learn the skills they will need to thrive throughout college.

Student Writers making choices. Because student models are so useful to student writers, this text offers more than twenty sample student essays. In Part 1, the text follows a student through the process of developing an essay from preliminary activities to final draft. Each chapter in Part 2 includes at least two sample student essays, one in both draft and final form, with comments from the student writer that show how that writer made decisions in moving from the first to the final draft.
