The ten-part, tabbed organization of the book, which reviewers and users have long cited as easy-to-use (and useful for shaping a syllabus) has NOT changed. KEEP IN MIND: Chapter numbers and section alphanumeric numbers have pretty much not changed at all. For rolls, teachers and adjuncts will NOT need to adjust their syllabi or other references for internal use or for students. The book’s fundamental structure is still: RED TABS The writing process, research, argument. GOLD TABS Sentence-level (grammar and usage) issues, document design, ESL/ELL coverage. This transition guide is arranged by Part (the plastic, tabbed dividers) and calls out what are: • Continuing strong features • Compelling and competitive NEW features AN IMPORTANT OVERALL CHANGE IS TO THE DESIGN OF THE BOOK. Keys has been a four-color book for at least the past two editions, but it is only in this fifth edition that color has been used creatively and consistently. KEEP IN MIND we only have two colors of tabs – the easiest and most direct way of finding information. Competing books have as many as six different colors for 11 parts. Our use of color is to make the book useful and clear, not just pretty. Part 1 The Writing Process What’s NEW • Reading critically (1b) • Voice and media (with purpose and tone) (1c) • Chapter 4, “Constructing an Argument,” has a NEW annotated sample student argument paper, a NEW section on logical fallacies (4j), a NEW section on visual arguments (4l), NEW examples of what constitutes the “logical appeals” (4f) • NEW annotated sample student writing about literature paper (5c) What’s RETAINED • Straightforward focus, with multiple strategies, on generating ideas and developing a strong thesis. • Contemporary, diverse paragraph-length examples from multiple disciplines of strategies for developing ideas. • Clear, specific breakdown of the writing process, from idea generation through collaboration. Numerous checklists, guidelines, and examples. • Annotated samples of a student’s first draft compared to her second draft, set side-by-side so readers can easily see how the student incorporated peer suggestion and instructor comments. Part 2 Doing Research/Evaluating Sources What’s NEW • In Chapter 6, more guidance on the process of moving from research question to working thesis. • “Sources in 27 subject areas” (7f) thoroughly revised by a university research librarian and placed online at the Keys web site, where it can be easily and frequently updated. • “Anatomy of a Web site” (8e) flow chart further helps students evaluate the content of an online site for accuracy and timeliness. The chart also advises students on how to most easily and accurately capture the site’s information for later citation. • Annotations on sample screen shots from library catalogues, etc. help students focus on the most important pieces of information to find. • In Chapter 9, “The Seven Sins of Plagiarism” – a witty but very clear list of the different shades and grades of plagiarism, making the ethical “grey areas” MUCH more clear. • “Source essentials” chart (9d) gives students an additional anti-plagiarism tool. • Section on “Quoting” moved here from previous Chapter 10, so “quoting” now builds on “summarizing and paraphrasing.” • 10f “Using Visuals” – how to find, create, and responsibly use visuals in a research project. English What’s RETAINED: • A useful, pro-active approach to avoiding plagiarism by adopting helpful work strategies. • Very clear, step-by-step examples of how to create responsible and useful summaries, paraphrases, and quotations, with examples of each that verge on plagiarism and how to “fix” such examples (9f, 9g). Part 3 MLA Documentation What’s NEW: • Examples of citations and sources have been updated throughout. • 64 examples of types of sources cited. • Side-by-side visual demonstration of how an in-text citation matches an entry in the list of works cited (“Illustrations of the Basic Features,” 11a). • SOURCE SHOTS Two-page spreads, annotated, that use photographs/reproductions of book pages, journals, Web sites, etc. to demonstrate exactly what kind of information students need to look for to build an accurate MLA-style citation. • Argument-specific illustrated sample student MLA paper. From the 4/e we’ve picked up and enriched student Lindsay Camp’s paper to specifically annotate, in a second color, those features of her paper that reflect her argumentation skills (another color of anno points out MLA-formatting issues). What’s RETAINED: • FAQ’s about MLA in-text citations (11b) • Clear, abundant, and accurate examples of those sources most likely to be consulted by student writers across their college careers. Part 4 APA, CSE, and Chicago Documentation What’s NEW: • CGOS (Columbia Guide to Online Style) has been deleted. This was a kind of stop-gap style for MLA and APA while those organizations determined their own requirements for citing online styles. CGOS is no longer covered in competing texts. • SOURCE SHOTS: See discussion above for Part 3, MLA. • CSE style is NEW, based on new CSE style guide issued May 2006. • NEW sample student APA-style research paper • NEW sample student Chicago-style research paper What’s RETAINED: • Multiple, clear, accurate, and annotated examples of different kinds of citations and how to find appropriate information for building citations. Part 5 Design, Media, and Presentation What’s NEW: • New and powerful discussion of typeface, based on the font chosen for a 9/11 memorial (further reinforces the book’s pedagogical use of color) (20b). • New, more contemporary examples of graphs and charts (21b) • Focus on rhetorical purpose, audience, and strategy, rather than the highly-technical (and not-well-reviewed) instruction on how to write in HTML (23) • NEW sample student web site, combining instruction/modeling of web site design with service learning and crossdisciplinary learning (23e, a student-created site on a refugee resettlement program in Africa). • Updated discussion of blogs, wikis, and online classroom postings. • Blogs, wikis, and virtual classrooms (22c) • A sample student e-Portfolio (24c) What’s RETAINED: • Resume and sample workplace documents updated as per 2006 requirements • Straightforward, non-technical discussion for students and young professionals alike, with additional online support available (and indicated by the OSC icon). • Clear, step-by-step instruction on how to use the features of Microsoft Word to format and design your document for appropriate purposes. This retention was specifically requested by one of our largest adopters of the 4/e. English Part 6 Style What’s NEW: • The “Five Cs” are classic to Keys. The wording of the fifth “C” has been changed slightly; in the 5e it is “Choose Your Words,” emphasizing the personal responsibility of individual writers towards their audiences. What’s RETAINED • Student sample (35) of how a student writer revised a draft specifically for style issues. Part 7 Common Sentence Problems What’s NEW: • Chapter 42 “Passive Voice” simplified and clarified, in response to reviewer suggestions. • “Indefinite pronouns” and “quantity words” now treated as separate subjects (43h,43i) for clarification. • NEW section on conjunctive adverbs (45f) • NEW simplified, clarified discussion of relative clauses and relative pronouns (46). • NEW design makes better use of four-color to make pages more easily readable, “chunking” abstract information into easier-to-digest bits of information. What’s RETAINED • “Difference, not deficit” approach to grammar instruction, as in 37c “Standard English.” Raimes’ entire approach to student writers is to reinforce and recognize the communicating strengths they already have – and build from there towards “standard” academic writing. Part 8 Punctuation, Mechanics, and Spelling What’s NEW • “How Punctuation Shows Meaning” chart” (47a) helps students problem-solve on their own. • Clear, easy-to-understand directions for using punctuation online (57) What’s RETAINED • The comprehensive index as well as the Glossary of Usage and Glossary of Grammatical Terms make it easy for students and teachers alike (especially in conferences, or where students are trying to respond to teacher feedback) to find what they need. Part 9 Language, Englishes, and ESL What’s NEW • Notice the title change (in 4/e was “For Multilingual/ESL writers”). NEW approach incorporates what is now understood about “generation 1.5” and “English-language learners.” • 59e – “Editing guide to multilingual transfer errors” and 59e, “Editing guide to vernacular Englishes” empower both ESL and ELL students with an easy-to-follow chart demonstrating (as in Part 7) the most common, easily-made errors and questions that ESL/ELL students may have, with xrefs to finding the specific information they need. • 59e The “Editing Guide to vernacular Englishes” is COMPLETELY new to the 5/e. • DELETED: By reviewer request, the dated section on “false friends/confusing cognates” was deleted. It is too language-specific, and at the same time does not begin to cover the range of language families included in the “Editing Guides.” Part 10 Glossaries and Index No change.
