<p> The Companion Website which accompanies <i>Good Reasons with Contemporary Arguments,</i> Third Edition by Lester Faigley and Jack Selzer is designed to provide the student with additional resources to aid in learning the ideas about writing successful arguments in the textbook. The authors have structured their textbook in an effort to introduce the student writer to the writing process. This leads to the construction of a persuasive argument, from discussing specific writing strategies, to exploring a variety of the more effective argument modes, to examining the links between online and written arguments, to creatively using visual arguments, to writing a persuasive research paper - all of which become necessary when writing successfully in the academic setting. The Web site is meant to complement and add to the development of each student into a competent and confident writer.
<p>The Student Resources section provides a wide variety of materials to assist students with their course work with arguments and academic writing, as well as introducing complementary new information and resources. The student section for each chapter will include a brief chapter summary with specific content objectives, accompanied by annotated Web links for that chapter's material. Extra activities for each chapter are also included, which may range from Internet search projects related to the materials and ideas specific to that chapter, to more general writing exercises, which will encourage students to expand their abilities even further. Each chapter's material closes with one quiz or exercise set which underscores the writing techniques related to argumentation and academic writing that students should have mastered by the end of the chapter. Additional online arguments are provided for each of the readings chapters, and there are special sections for each Issue in Focus from the textbook.
