505 _a"Interchange offers a scaffolded and integrated approach to teaching and learning composition. In essence, the book encourages students to read from a writing perspective and to write from a reading perspective. In this symbiotic approach, the edges of the two fundamental literacy skills are blurred, producing a truly blended approach to understanding writing through reading, and vice versa. Furthermore, borrowing from the tenets of English language pedagogy, Interchange encourages speaking and listening along with reading and writing through chapter prompts for writing and discussion as well as other applied exercises throughout each chapter. The chapters are fully thematic - meaning that each chapter not only focuses on specific reading and writing skills, but also compels students to investigate a topic in depth via both reading and writing. Furthermore, grammar is integrated in each chapter, drawing practice and examples from the chapter's readings. Each skill and strategy is followed by hands-on application throughout each chapter. The approach in this textbook is truly integrated in a variety of ways.
505 _aKey Features:
_tA recursive, metacognitive approach that encourages students to reflect on their own thinking with explicit instruction.
_tEach chapter toggles between the two skills, explicitly linking the interchange of reading and writing.
_tEach chapter offers two or three high-interest readings to deepen topic understanding and generate thoughtful writing.
_tThe readings in each chapter are overwhelmingly Canadian in origin, making the topics specifically relevant to Canadian learners; however, the broad topics are of high interest to international learners, too.
_tEach chapter builds on the last, fusing skills and strategies in both reading and writing in a scaffolded manner.
_tLearning Objectives at the beginning of each chapter promote a focused experience for maximum comprehension.
_tThe Why Is This Information Important? feature explains the importance of the skills and strategies introduced and developed in each chapter.
_tThe Think about It! feature at the start of each chapter gets students involved in and curious about the chapter theme, encouraging opinions about the broad theme and eliciting reactions to key features in the variety of writing approaches. This reading serves as the basis for many chapter explanations and applications.
_tFigures visually illustrate key concepts covered in the chapter.
_tPedagogy breaks down each skill with related examples from readings in the chapter rather than random examples. This builds background knowledge on the subject and shows students that writers approach writing in different ways, encouraging learners to think about their writing purpose, topic, and audience first.
_tEach skill or strategy is followed by an Apply the Skill feature that allows practice on skill subsets before assembling them.
_tChapters include a Review feature after each broad topic to ensure students understand and can apply key concepts and strategies.
_tDid You Know? weaves an appropriate grammar, mechanics, punctuation, or strategic writing topic into each chapter. Instead of isolating skills, we set them in context, unfolding these topics in each chapter in a recursive manner.
_tQuestions for Writing and Discussion offer thought-provoking prompts that often integrate ideas from readings in each chapter.
_tThe appendix, Documentation, provides students with useful models and methods to support their writing for their courses." (Preface, pp. xiii-xiv)
