Students see several writing models in each unit. Each Organization section is preceded by a model paragraph or essay that demonstrates the rhetorical form taught in that chapter.

Also, the instructor can check to make sure everyone is on the right track. Practices. Exercises allow students to experiment with new skills-both rhetorical and sentence structure-informally, without the pressure of being graded on their experiments. In addition, students have opportunities to practice editing . Some Editing Practices ask them to look for sentence errors such as comma splices or run-ons, and others target punctuation. Still others ask them to analyze a paragraph for rhetorical devices or to check a paragraph for unity and also Answer Key is available upon request from the readers.
