Patterns for a Purpose emphasizes the rhetorical patterns as strategies to help writers achieve their purposes for writing – as means rather than ends. The text focuses on how writers combine patterns and treats argumentation-persuasion in depth.
Starting with Chapter 4, "Description," the apparatus following each reading
in Patterns for a Purpose includes a "Drawing on Sources" assignment. Most
of these assignments suggest a Web site that students can visit to gather
information on their topic. A link below the list of authors gives you
access to all of the "Drawing on Sources" assignments in the book, with links
to the recommended Web sites. |
