New to This Edition
“ Critical Thinking, Reading, and Writing is simple to navigate, and students enjoy the readings. Each of the chapters guides students through the different writers’ processes. There are chapters about different forms of arguments that instructors can pick-and-choose from. The textbook ultimately touches on all of our requirements.” - Max Hernandez, College of the Desert “Barnet, Bedau, and OHara offer terrific instruction in preparing the students to write arguments in the Critical Reading and Critical Thinking chapters. The chapter on analyzing argument and writing arguments of their own provides a clear understanding of the methods of supporting an argument and showing that argument is not only taking a position for or against an issue.” - Susie Crowson, Del Mar College

Additional Book Details
Critical Thinking, Reading, and Writing is a brief yet versatile resource for teaching argument, persuasive writing, and research. It makes argument concepts clear and gives students strategies to move from critical thinking and analysis to crafting effective arguments. Comprehensive coverage of classic and contemporary approaches to argument — Aristotelian, Toulmin, Rogerian, visual argument, and more — provides a foundation for nearly 50 readings on current issues, such as student loan forgiveness and gun violence, topics that students will want to engage with and debate. For today’s ever-increasingly visual learners who are challenged to separate what’s real from what’s not, new activities and visual flowcharts support information literacy, and newly annotated readings highlight important rhetorical moves. This affordable guide can stand alone or supplement a larger anthology of readings.
