"Writers at Work: The Short Composition is essentially a new edition of Bridges to Academic Writing. The first edition has been used extensively throughout the world and feedback from users has helped shape this revision.
Some of the key features of Writers at Work: The Short Composition are as follows: The book begins with an introductory section, "Begin with the Basics," which introduces students to the writing process and to the basic elements of a short composition, including format, main idea, the body and supporting details, conclusions, and titles. This section lays the foundation for the chapters that follow.
The nine chapters of the book present common organizational patterns and types of writing used in personal and academic writing. All of the activities and exercises in a chapter relate to the pattern or type of writing. In this way, students are able to apply what they learn in their own writing.
The book makes extensive use of sample compositions. These have been chosen for their representative nature and their engaging content. The activities in the book guide students through analysis, revision, and editing of these compositions as preparation for their own writing.
It is important that students collaborate and interact when learning how to write. Collaborative tasks and peer feedback activities in the text make learning to write manageable and enjoyable. "Sharing Your Writing" activities round out the steps in writing, providing a high-interest activity that underscores the communicative goal of writing." (Introduction, p. xiv)
