Description
The Concise Canadian Writer's Handbook is a streamlined, coil-bound, full-colour version of the well-established Canadian Writer's Handbook that instructors have come to know and trust. The concise edition uses the accessible, well-organized, and classroom-tested structure of the full volume,
featuring descriptions and examples of the entire writing process, from basic grammar to constructing sentences and paragraphs to proofreading and editing. Also included are EAL tools, up-to-date examples and advice on avoiding plagiarism and achieving academic integrity. The latest 2009 MLA
documentation guidelines have also been added to ensure students have access to the most current resources available. Students will also value the new design, tabs for easy navigation, and the easy to use format, all of which make this a valuable reference throughout their academic career and
beyond.
A printed workbook is available to accompany The Concise Canadian Writer's Handbook. This invaluable resource includes over 150 exercises which range in difficulty from basic to more complex so that students can practice their skills as they advance through a course. Also included at the back of the
workbook is a complete answer key, giving students the opportunity to check their progress and comprehension.
