The Norton Field Guide to Writing
Easy to use and understand.
Color-coding makes it easy to find what you’re looking for; a minimum of jargon makes it easy to understand. Even the MLA and APA documentation guidelines are easy to follow, with color-coded models that show the necessary details without lengthy explanations.
Just enough detail.
Tells students what they need to know—not everything there is to know. Chapters are short and to the point, with color-coded links that send students to specific pages where they can find more detail if they need it.
A uniquely flexible format.
You can use the assignment sequences in the book—or you can create your own. If, for example, you wish to assign a position paper, you’ll find a full chapter on the topic. If you want your students to use sources, add the appropriate research chapters in the sequence you think best. This book will help you help your students, whatever their needs.
With a Web site students can use as they write.
A unique Writing Toolbar provides instant access to parts of The Norton Field Guide in Microsoft Word. Students can look up writing guides, documentation models, and more, without losing sight of the paper in front of them. A portfolio space allows students to upload and submit work to instructors, or share their work with other students.
