Engaging Questions
features an Inquiry-Based Approach, presenting writing as essential to thinking, discussing, and reading. Engaging Questions encourages students to connect: with the texts they read and write, as well as with peers, instructors, and readers. By emphasizing critical thinking, Engaging Questions supports the transformation of passive students into active learners empowered to ask their own questions and pursue those questions wherever they lead:


In reading and thinking before writing, to interpret texts and assignments and to evaluate the credibility of sources.
In planning and organizing, to investigate the writing situation, to find a topic, and to formulate a coherent thesis.
In drafting, to consider choices of style, voice, and genre and question the effectiveness of the choices made.
In revising and editing, to anticipate readers’ experience with the text and see where changes could make the text more effective.
