Welcome to the Student Resources section of the Companion Website specifically designed to accompany The Allyn and Bacon Guide to Writing, 4/e, the most successful college rhetoric published in over a decade, and the leading aims-based rhetoric in the country. Unlike composition texts that focus largely on abstract forms, The Allyn and Bacon Guide to Writing begins with the premise that your writing has a purpose and then guides you through the process of producing the most effective text to serve that purpose. Solidly grounded in current theory and research, this practical text has set the new standard for composition courses in writing, reading, critical thinking, and inquiry.

Student Resources include:
1. Chapter Overviews that explore important concepts in each chapter of your textbook.

2. Writing Exercises that engage you in the writing and research processes addressed in each chapter of your textbook.

3. Writing Samples that show you how other students have understood the concepts presented in your textbook.

4. Web Links to other sites that can help you with writing and research.
