Writing with Purpose

By Winston Brady, Elizabeth Jetton, Josh Herring

The goal of Research & Writing: Writing with Purpose is to integrate the intellectual heritage of the Western tradition with the skills, concepts, and content to help students become excellent leaders, writers, and thinkers. To accomplish this goal, this combination of a workbook and textbook integrates grammar and writing lessons with primary source texts. These primary source texts include the very best works of philosophy, literature, and history from the beginning to the end of the Western canon. Section III features grammar lessons on advanced punctuation, active and passive voice, and indefinite pronouns. The writing lessons include the research process and how to write a research paper, scientific writing and lab reports, and how to write an expository essay. Lastly, the primary source texts integrated into these grammar and writing lessons include samples from Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations , Descartes' Discourse on Method , and Immanuel Kant's What is Enlightenment ? Section IV , meanwhile, features grammar lessons on homonyms, quotation marks, and verbals. The writing lessons focus on writing in creative mediums such as satires, short stories, and poetry. Lastly, the primary source texts integrated into these grammar and writing lessons include samples from Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels , Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy , and Alfred, Lord Tennyson's "Ulysses."
