Fawcett’s EVERGREEN: A GUIDE TO WRITING WITH READINGS, 12th Edition, offers the most effective instruction for paragraph and essay writing available. Structured around the author's proven MAP (Model-Analysis-Practice) format -- a guiding pedagogy, featuring minimal inductive instruction followed by varied practice -- this text improves student confidence and learning outcomes. The book illustrates each of the nine rhetorical patterns with two student sample essays (one in third person and one in first person) and includes a graphic organizer. The revised edition refreshes and expands suggestions on crafting better thesis statements and features updated readings by diverse authors on topics relevant to today's students.
