English Essentials: Composition

Welcome to English Essentials: Composition! This is the second complete iBooks Textbook of the wildly popular English Essentials iTunes U and iBooks Textbook series and is useful to new and experienced writers as well as teachers of writing.

In the four major essay assignments in this iBooks Textbook, you will go on a journey of exploration and storytelling of culture, as well as the analysis of problems and persuasion of solutions. Special attention will be given to the role of purpose and audience in your writing, and the use of high-quality, scholarly research to provide evidence to your claims. Chapters are full of interactive videos and content, including classroom and individual study activities that will help you brainstorm, write, revise, and creatively reflect and make new meaning. 

This iBooks Textbook is best paired with the iTunes U public course “English Essentials: Composition” or an in-person college-level writing course.
