Material Detail

First off, rhetoric is the art of discourse, an art that aims to improve the ability of writers and speakers to inform, persuade and motivate. This textbook, Skyline’s Writing & Reading Rhetoric, was written by English teachers at Skyline College with contributions from their Librarians and ESOL teachers with the goal of providing clear and consistent instruction on how to recognize and apply successful writing, reading, and research strategies.

This project is unique because English teachers and other faculty volunteered their time over 2 years to create this comprehensive and free textbook for students and instructors. This textbook is an English teacher’s version of a love letter to our students. We love the written word and strive to infect our students with that shared love and appreciation of language. Also, we have dedicated our professional lives to help others reach their academic goals, and this textbook is a testament to our ongoing commitment to help our students succeed and flourish in college and beyond.
