Simple, Clear, and Correct: Essays [Paperback]

Simple, Clear, and Correct: Essays provides a thorough, engaging introduction to writing college essays and research writing, presenting guidelines and explanations for each stage of the writing process.

 

The brief presentation (~288 pages) and low price (~$18 net*) of Simple, Clear, and Correct empower instructors with the flexibility to incorporate additional materials while choosing a text their students will benefit from and enjoy.  Author Bill Kelly, lead author of Pearsons successful Discovery and Odyssey texts for developing writers, introduces students to the rhetorical modes and covers all the key elements of form that all writers must master in order to present ideas in a way that is immediately accessible and understandable for a reader.  Just as important, Simple, Clear, and Correct: Essays offers significant opportunities to practice each principle discussed, whether its generating ideas through prewriting, or using comparison and contrast, or avoiding sentence fragments.
