Engaging Discourse: A 21st Century Composition Reader and Curriculum

We do not need to agree, but we do need to share ideas and to learn to communicate with a clear and open mind, in clear and meaningful language. This book encourages students to engage in public discourse. These “conversations” take place in writing, language composed in accordance with the guidelines of standard written English.
We are diverse. We do not share the same ideology, religion, ethnicity, or socio-economic background.

We do not need to agree, but we do need to share ideas and to learn to communicate with a clear and open mind, in clear and meaningful language. We need to speak and write with thoughtfulness, even mindfulness, and with honesty.

Engaging Discourse: A 21^st Century Composition Reader & Curriculum encourages students to engage in public discourse, the lost art of meaningful conversation.  These "conversations" take place in writing, language composed in accordance with the guidelines of standard written English.
