The Little Seagull Handbook and "They Say / I Say" with Readings

A pocket-sized handbook that's easy to use and covers the kinds of writing college students need to do.

The Little Seagull Handbook offers the kind of succinct advice students need about grammar, punctuation, documentation, and the writing process―an in addition, it covers the kinds of writing they are most often assigned―reports, analyses, narratives, and more. The second edition includes unique help for students whose primary language is not English. Available in two versions―with and without exercises.

“They Say / I Say” identifies the key rhetorical moves in academic writing, showing students how to frame their arguments in the larger context of what others have said and providing templates to help them make those moves. And, because these moves are central across all disciplines, the book includes chapters on writing in the sciences, writing in the social sciences, and―new to this edition―writing about literature.
