Interactions: A Thematic Reader

Literature & Fiction

INTERACTIONS: A THEMATIC READER is designed to help students discover meaning in what they read and to convey meaning in what they write. The text's readings and accompanying apparatus--which have been class tested and proven effective through seven previous editions--guide students from a consideration of self to an awareness of how the self interacts with other people and phenomena. The book explains to students the process and interdependence of reading and writing, stressing the connections students can make between their own experiences and what they read. It also introduces them to prewriting techniques such as freewriting, brainstorming, mapping, clustering, and journals. Reading selections are organized into thematic units that guide students from a consideration of self to an examination of close human relationships and finally to more abstract topics such as work and society. The selections represent a wide range of voices, topics, and sources, including a balance of male and female authors and significant contributions by culturally diverse writers. This diversity allows students both to encounter new voices and to identify with familiar ones. The readings also provide students with effective models and styles of writing.

A short-essay thematic reader, Interactions accommodates both higher-level developmental writing and basic-level composition courses through a diverse set of readings. These selections, written by authors of different ethnic and social backgrounds, lead students from a consideration of the self to how the self interacts with other people and situations.
Paired readings appear in each unit—often juxtaposing conflicting viewpoints—to engage students' critical-thinking skills and continue prompting them to find their own voice. By drawing parallels between their lives and the readings, students can clearly understand the reading-writing connection. Students collaborate on Exploring Ideas Together assignments based on topics from the readings, and complete Writing Essays exercises individually in response to the readings. Each unit features at least one student essay to provide realistic models of good writing.
