{"product_id":"life-studies-a-thematic-reader","title":"Life Studies: A Thematic Reader","description":"The Fourth Edition of Life Studies is lean and lively. The goal is to increase student engagement by offering fresh material and additional opportunities for discussion and writing. The material continues the book's distinctive emphasis on individual experience in its larger-than-personal dimensions. This edition reconfirms the original premise that students learn to write well when they try to understand things that truly matter to them. They will work hard at articulating their ideas and feelings only if they have things that they really want to say clearly and convincingly. The works included here offer students varied and challenging perspectives on topics they care about, encouraging them to read with heightened attention, to respond knowledgeably in class discussions, and to write with a strong purpose to learn about themselves and their world. A wonderful tool for those parents homeschooling their children.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312052618\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0312052618.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Cavitch, David\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
