Writing Analytically is an across-the-curriculum rhetoric with integrated readings that teaches students how to have an idea and develop analytical essays in an academic setting. This text approaches writing as a process that involves the exploration of questions, ideas, and experiences. It challenges the notion there is a "right" answer to writing analytically, but rather teaches students that writing analytically means allowing a thesis and arguments to evolve in response to evidence and source material. Readings are integrated into the content of the chapters, helping students see that the concepts they are learning are actually employed by active writers.
