Title: The new edition is even better
Review: This is the best single book out there on teaching writing and critical thinking -- and the second edition is a significant revision, expansion, and updating of the first, without losing the balance of clearly articulated principles and multiple practical examples of the first edition.If you love your current first edition, you should at least borrow a copy of the second from your library or teaching center to see the expanded sections on teaching students to write in multiple genres, supporting undergraduate researchers, and anchoring writing in particular disciplinary contexts. This is not a chintzy "I updated a few references and added some new stories" second edition: every chapter is rewritten to better prepare teachers for writing and thinking instruction in classes across the disciplines.I use this book as a cornerstone of my composition pedagogy course, recommend it to all my colleagues, and always find something useful when I re-read it myself.
