Additional Book Details
"Writing Moves is a comprehensive first-year writing text that guides students both in studying contemporary literacy practices and in building their own repertoire of strategies for writing effectively in many different contexts, both academic and beyond. The books title captures two of its central tenets. First, that writing effectively is a matter of making particular moves in response to dynamic contexts rather than applying static templates. And second, that writing itself moves, circulating through contexts and changing shape along the way.
With chapters organized around inquiry-based prompts, students engage in an ongoing investigation into the new literacies emerging in and being shaped by the digital practices of various private, public, and academic contexts. Through that investigation students learn and continue to practice the skills of observing new contexts and conversations and deciding from those observations how to successfully communicate in them.
Writing Moves constitutes a sustained inquiry into what it means to become a writer who is rhetorically aware and who can deploy a variety of strategies to compose effectively in the print and digital contexts of the twenty-first century."
