This advanced composition text is the ideal resource for helping your students develop their Spanish writing skills.
The three-part organization focuses on the writing process: Antes de redactar provides clear models along with analysis, discussion questions, and exercises; La redacción gives students guided writing assignments; and La revision introduces them to the process of correcting and revising with a grammar review, proofreading exercises, and checklists for revision.
New to this Edition- A new design provides a more contemporary look and improves the overall organization of content.
- A new preliminary chapter focuses on the differences between spoken and written language, and provides students with information and activities to help them develop basic writing skills.
- Sin falta, a new writing software CD-ROM developed in partnership with Ultralingua, Inc., is packaged with every new copy of this edition. It contains a word processor with a Spanish thesaurus, a dictionary, a spell-checker, and a grammar reference, among other useful tools.
Features- Writing exercises focus students on the needs of the reader and help them develop a repertoire of writing techniques, including peer-editing skills.
- The structure of each chapter models the stages of the writing process, helping to ensure that students will have done significant thinking about their topic and their reader before they begin to write.
- The text includes realistic models of different kinds of student writing, as well as models of analyses of each type.
- The text encourages students to view writing as an interaction among the writer, the reader, the purpose, and the message.
- Composicíon treats grammatical skills as only one of several important attributes that writers need in order to communicate effectively.
- The Workbook helps student expand and refine a number of writing tools (control of grammar, range of vocabulary, rhetorical techniques for organizing information) as well as strategies for getting started. Each chapter begins with a section entitled Páginas personales, in which students perform a variety of prewriting tasks; grammar exercises that illustrate the explanations in the textbook also appear in the workbook, where students can check many of their own answers in an answer appendix.
