Feature Summary
A wide variety of readings--most published within the last three years--are drawn from magazines, newspapers, student papers, and other periodicals, in print and online. Thematically relevant classic readings in each chapter help set the historical context.
Visual texts (photographs, cartoons, and screen captures) appear in every chapter, complete with apparatus; chapter one incudes a section on reading and interpreting visuals.
Critical thinking, reading, and writing are covered in the first two chapters, with special emphasis on synthesis and analysis, argumentation, and informative writing.
Headnotes and suggestions for writing and discussion accompany each reading, and end-of-chapter prompts encourage students to draw connections between specific readings within and across themes.
A full-color insert features a photo essay on the American flag now and throughout its history.
Research and documentation coverage, with a special focus on the research question and a sample student paper in MLA format, can be found in Part III.
