The Essay
Dorothy Zemach and Lynn Stafford-Yilmaz
Student’s Book
In Writers at Work: The Essay, college and university students use the process approach to write different genres of essays common at the post-secondary level—the most important being expository writing, persuasive writing, and timed essay exams. Each chapter uses the same five-step approach to writing that is used in the two lower-level books. In each chapter, students analyze a model essay, noticing key organizational and linguistic features; brainstorm ideas; write multiple drafts; revise their work; engage in peer reviews; and share their finished work. Chapters recycle and build upon previously taught material.
