Crossing Cultures

Readings for Composition

By: Henry W. Knepler,Myrna Knepler

Too often it is difficult to find an anthology that offers high- interest readings that stress cultural differences. Readers will have to look no more with the fifth edition of this highly-successful book of readings. Crossing Cultures introduces readers to a wide variety of cultures in the United States. Because we need to look at other cultures to define our own, one complete section emphasizes cultures elsewhere. Each selection has been chosen because it is a "good read" with an engaging subject and style. Each chapter begins with a short, personal reading, moves to more difficult pieces, and ends with a poem. Ideal for those seeking a multicultural anthology for their libraries.

Crossing Cultures

Readings for Composition

By: Myrna Knepler,Annie Knepler

The sixth edition of this cross-cultural writing anthology contains eight thematically organized units that introduce students to a wide variety of cultures in the United States, allowing them to analyze cultural differences and reflect on their own cultural background. Each selection has been chosen because it is accessible and puts forth a subject and style that will engage college students and provide thought-provoking material for class discussion as well as compelling ideas for writing. The thematic units provide logical groupings for class study, but the text is also flexible and allows teachers to pair readings in a variety of ways. A headnote for each piece provides background information to help students prepare for the reading. The questions that follow each selection guide students through the reading and help them analyze both the content and style of the work. The writing questions can be used for formal paper assignments or as prompts for less formal writing.

Crossing Cultures

Readings for Composition

By: Henry W. Knepler,Myrna Knepler

This multicultural reader uses engaging selections to introduce students to the wide variety of cultures in the United States. Organized by themes such as Education, Growing Up, and Families, the collection provides thought-provoking material for class discussion as well as compelling ideas for writing. Straightforward pedagogy includes exercises that help students to analyze both the content and style of each reading, as well as writing prompts that serve as essay assignments or in-class writing activities. Reading selections in Crossing Cultures vary in length and difficulty to provide suitable material for both less experienced and more sophisticated student readers and writers. Each unit opens with a short, often personal piece and then proceeds with progressively more difficult selections. Concluding each unit, a poem provides an alternate way to explore the unit theme." -- Amazon.com.
