The student essays are a strength. I really like to see an illustrated example or model of a paper as it evolves from draft to draft. I like the line by line editing notes. The emphasis on rhetorical devices is another strength. It's good to see so much of the book dedicated to so many devices of rhetoric. Also, when the book uses outlines, graphs, and charts, it succeeds tremendously., The student essays are a strength.

All important topics are covered quite thoroughly., Several years ago, while searching for a text that included the elements which I had found over the years were best for teaching composition, I discovered FROM IDEA TO ESSAY, 11e. It proved to be an excellent text, which I appreciated more during the successive years that I used it to teach my introductory classes. I was pleased to discover the elements I so appreciated in that text were kept in the current edition: an organization that began with an overview of the process of writing, a review of classic rhetorical structure, and grammar.
