Título: Writing Places (Longman Topics)

Autor: Paula Mathieu, Tim Lindgren, George Grattan, Staci Shultz

Sinopse: Part of the Longman Topics reader series, Writing Places encourages students to examine the locations that define their past, present and future. As students begin to think critically and to write about these places, they realize that location is an enormous part of identity ― both personally and academically.

This collection of readings offers a poignant and, oftentimes, moving variety of essays from writers of all ages, styles, and backgrounds. It is designed to be flexible to any teaching method and any composition class. The text is divided into four chapters. The first chapter is an introduction for both instructors and students to the concept of writing about place. The middle two chapters divide the essays by the period of time represented in the author’s work. The last chapter provides valuable instruction from start to finish for wiriting about place. It focuses specifically on how to better understand the meaning of place in life and writing.
“Longman Topics” are brief, attractive readers on a single, complex, but compelling topic. Featuring about 30 full-length selections, these volumes are generally half the size and half the cost of standard composition readers.
