Compose, Design, Advocate is a genre-based writing guide designed to help you choose effective strategies, arrangements, and media for different communication contexts. With this user-friendly text, you'll learn how to use both words and images in writing and speaking. The authors offer a systematic approach for analyzing communication situations, while also providing concepts and vocabulary applicable to the many genres and modes of composition that you'll encounter in the text and beyond. Instruction in, and samples from, diverse writing genres provide guidance throughout.
