Test Bank for Mosaics: Reading and Writing Paragraphs, 8th Edition - Page 16 preview image2PARTIStatement of PurposeTeaching people how to write good essays is like helping them piece together various visual imagesinto a beautiful, vivid, coherent mosaic artwork. It is anarduous but satisfying process that, for some ofus, is our entire life’s work. We wake up and go to bed thinking of ways to do our jobs better, reach ourstudents more consistently, and be more efficient in the process. What we have chosen to do for a livingis compelling, frustrating, exciting, and exasperating—occasionally all at the same time. What we need isa way to do what has to be done in a more effective manner. That is what we believe we have developedin this series of books: a new, refreshing way to carry out the goals that we all believe in;a way to put themosaic together that works for all of our students, while allowing for individual differences in their writingprocesses.T H EM O S A I C SS E R I E STheMosaicsseries consists of three books, eachwith a different emphasis:Reading and WritingSentences,Reading and Writing Paragraphs,andReading and Writing Essays.The first book highlightssentence structure, the second book paragraph development, and the third the composition of essays. Eachbook introduces the writing process as a unified whole and asks students to begin writing in the very firstchapter. Each volume also moves from personal to more academic writing. The books differ in the lengthand level of their reading selections, the complexity of their writing assignments, the length and level oftheir student writing samples, and the level of the handbook instruction.Mosaics: Reading and Writing Paragraphsis the second in this series of three books that teachesthe basic skills so necessary to all good academic writing. By focusing on eight primary purposes forwriting in each book,this series illustrates how the companion skills of reading and writing are parts of alarger process that moves back and forth through the tasks of prereading/reading, prewriting/writing, andrevising/editing. In other words, theMosaicsseries shows how these tasks are integrated at every stage ofthe writing process.O U RC O M M O NG O A L SOur main goal behind this project is to help students respond to the varying intellectual demandsplaced on them throughout the college curriculum so that ultimately they have an excellent chance ofsucceeding in higher education. As a result, this series of three books teaches the processes and skillscommon to all good academic writing.Achieving this goal is based on the following assumptions about the teaching of writing:•Students must thinkcritically and analytically to succeed in college.•Students build confidence in their ability to read and write by reading andwriting.•Students learn best from discovery and experimentation rather than from instruction and abstractdiscussions.
