520			_a"HOW to write compelling arguments WHY the practice of argumentation is essential to academic work So what? the writer's argument teaches students how to write compelling arguments and explains why practicing argumentation is essential to learning and communicating with others. Practical exercises throughout each chapter reinforce this broader academic aim by focusing on the key issue of significance-helping writers answer the "So What?" question for themselves and their audiences. By showing students how their writing fits within the broader context of academic inquiry, So What? encourages them to emulate and adapt the authentic academic styles, foundational organizing structures, and helpful rhetorical moves to their college classes and beyond"-- _cProvided by publisher.
520			_a"So What? The Writer's Argument is the first, very brief rhetoric to teach students how to write compelling arguments in college by showing them why the practice of argumentation is essential to academic work. Practical exercises throughout each chapter reinforce this broader academic aim with specific writing objectives focused on the key issue of significance - also known as the "So What?" factor. Short, flexible, and affordable, So What? begins by teaching students how to understand their compositions as contributions within the broader context of college, as important practice in academic inquiry and knowledge making. By teaching students how to become apprentice scholars, So What? gives students access authentic academic styles, foundational organizing structures, and helpful rhetorical moves that they can emulate and adapt in their college classes and beyond"-- _cProvided by publisher.
