Karen Wink's text offers the essentials of classical rhetoric for writing students in a textbook that is brief, clear and yet amazingly thorough. Using questions as headings, Wink covers everything from assessing the writer's initial rhetorical situation, to the five parts of an argument, the appeals of ethos, pathos and logos, and the common fallacies, down through matters of style, revision, documentation, and proofreading. Traditional material like the writing process is covered, but in a way that makes them part of the overall strategy of a well-designed argument. At the same time, less frequently covered topics are included so that students acquire a deeper appreciation of rhetorical argument, as in Wink's version of the stases combined with the topics in Chapter 2, or her especially strong coverage of Style in a chapter (6) that includes a useful list of figures of speech and methods of sentence analysis and invention. Drawing on her years of classroom experience, Wink includes published and student-written examples throughout, as well as useful tables, checklists and exercises that immediately apply the material just explained. Altogether, Karen Wink's text covers everything needed for a complete, rhetorically-based writing course in the most engaging and student-friendly way possible., Dr. Karen Wink's Rhetorical Strategies for Composition is a valuable text for secondary and post-secondary writing instructors. Written from the deep knowledge of someone who understands writing as process, this handbook is an effective tool to accompany the teaching and learning of how to write well. Most specifically, this text makes clear how to write cogent, powerful arguments that respond to various situations and purposes. What I found most relevant about this text was its inclusion of contemporary examples that students use for practice to learn the skills Wink articulates. This contemporaneousness connects readers to the work, encouraging them to understand the links between arguments made throughout history and the ones of today. Additionally, the tone of the text invites readers to try their hand at writing while feeling comfortable learning the why behind arguments without feeling condescended to or demeaned for what they might not know. Thus, Rhetorical Strategies for Composition is an excellent text for educators working with high school seniors as a way to prepare them for life beyond high school as well as for educators working with students in post-secondary schools. For all students using this text, is, indeed, the "Lonely Planet Guide" to understanding arguments and how to write them., Dr. Karen Wink's Rhetorical Strategies for Composition is a valuable text for secondary and post-secondary writing instructors.

The textbook's contemporary examples, practical exercises, and tools for revision will engage composition students from high school to upper-division undergraduate level.

Synopsis
Cracking an Academic Code: Rhetorical Strategies for Composition is a worktext designed for composition students to apply rhetorical theory in their writing. The exercises interconnect rhetorical skill work for students to practice "thinking on paper" in style, language, and conventions. Several innovations and competitive advantages of the text include: (1) providing continuity from AP Language courses (of which many students take in high school), which is not evident in current texts; (2) exhibiting a high level of student engagement vis-a-vis content of sentences, paragraphs, and other content relating to their lives; connecting ancient Rhetoric to modem media; (3) using the history of music sampling as a method to teach paraphrasing; (4) displaying sample student drafts with instructor commentary using rhetorical language from the course; and (5) offering an interconnectedness of lessons-students understand how components of rhetoric work together. An instruction manual has been created by the author for this book, and will be given to adopting professors.
