"A new take on the traditional rhetorical modes, showing how they are used in the kinds of writing college students are most often assigned-arguments, analyses, reports, narratives, and more. Back to the lake fourth edition includes a new chapter on writing sentences-guiding students through common issues like sentence fragments, fused sentences, and the passive voice. A new section in Chapter 1 on evaluating online sources helps students distinguish facts from misinformation. New readings are on timely topics that will engage students. Templates and marginal notes that explicitly link the readings and the writing instruction help students apply the lessons in this book to their own writing"--
