Pathways

For courses in Developmental Writing.

A lively, integrated approach that emphasizes the connection of the reading and writing processes
Pathways: Scenarios for Paragraph and Sentence Writing, Fourth Edition teaches fundamental sentence and paragraph writing skills by engaging student interest, maintaining a focus on expressing ideas rather than on following rules.

Students learn grammar in the context of the “whole paper." Seven of the 17 chapters address grammar; in these chapters, students examine student essays, read and respond to ideas, and write and revise paragraphs. In Parts II through IV, students apply what they have learned about sentence-level correctness to their own writing as they explore logical paragraph development and organization of ideas. The last two chapters in the print book and access to the e-chapters from Expressways, Third Edition in the book-specific module introduce essay writing, enabling students accelerate to essays, with the goal of achieving stronger, more fully developed writing skills and preparing them for English Composition.
