This textbook is a companion to the Bible courses taught in the English Department at Kansas State University, in particular ENGL 470 The Bible, though it is available for use in other courses and contexts. This textbook examines the Hebrew Bible (also known as the Tanakh) and the early Christian writings of the New Testament. It is an introduction to the analysis of biblical texts, their histories, and their interpretations. The emphasis throughout this textbook is on the literary qualities of these biblical texts as well as their cultural and historical contexts.8872020-07-19T21:33:30Z2024-01-22T14:52:19ZWriting Instruction Tips For Automated Essay Graders: How To Design an Essay for a Non-human Reader<img alt="Read more about Writing Instruction Tips For Automated Essay Graders: How To Design an Essay for a Non-human Reader" title="Writing Instruction Tips For Automated Essay Graders: How To Design an Essay for a Non-human Reader cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="435" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTI4MSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--07d538d91b7b0dc7dd5f5adfb78fac982cb73a3d/robo-photo-2-350x435.jpg" />As schools, as well as the workplace, become more automated, and remote or distance learning/working becomes the “new normal,” understanding and leveraging artificial intelligence will become a critical skill.9242020-10-19T01:46:21Z2024-01-22T14:52:13ZTechnical Writing @ SLCC<img alt="Read more about Technical Writing @ SLCC" title="Technical Writing @ SLCC cover image" class="cover " width="683" height="1024" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTY1MiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--7d9ddbf5c4208b4433791613dffb49b42712c746/tech-writing-cover-683x1024.png" />What is technical writing? You can think of it as writing about specialized topics or you could also think of it as using technology to communicate your ideas. A science lab report, a specification, a change order for building construction, or patient education materials–just to name a few–are all considered technical writing. Similarly if you design a webpage or a brochure this can also be considered technical writing. Academic writing, the writing you do for school, generally is informative or persuasive writing and usually only comes in a few different genres. In technical writing, on the other hand, one is often documenting what was done (such as a science experiment or auto repair invoice). Therefore the format of the writing is often as important as the content. This leads to an emphasis on usability and accessibility for your documents. Finally, although citing your sources is important in all writing, you will find that in some fields of technical writing, such as the sciences and engineering, it is one of the more important considerations of your writing.9542021-01-30T21:25:40Z2024-01-22T14:52:23ZBusiness Writing Style Guide<img alt="Read more about Business Writing Style Guide" title="Business Writing Style Guide cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjAxNCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--d260171ff5a656f589bfb6234ce47776c5618728/Title-Page-Business-Writing-Style-Guide-350x453.png" />It is the goal of this book to help students do the following:• Apply basic concepts for effective and concise business writing.• Compile a well written report acceptable within a business context.• Follow a writing process designed for business students.• Demonstrate critical thinking, reasoning, and persuasion.• Communicate in writing using a business model.• Apply resources for improving business writing skills.9912021-04-09T20:56:48Z2024-01-22T14:52:25ZTechnical Writing for Technicians<img alt="Read more about Technical Writing for Technicians" title="Technical Writing for Technicians cover image" class="cover " width="475" height="400" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjIxOCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--83cb5456430b37ce0d83c213f44056919001565a/Tech-Writing-cover-1.jpg" />Technical Writing for CTE is an open source e-textbook designed specifically for use in LBCC’s WD4 (Technical Writing for Welders) and all versions of IN4 (Technical Writing for CTE).10062021-06-10T14:09:52Z2024-01-22T14:52:26ZWriting Fabulous Features<img alt="Read more about Writing Fabulous Features" title="Writing Fabulous Features cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="458" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjQwMiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--7b5f3dddac2145b3553bca5d30a8922b8ceb9dd1/Kraft_Features_Cover-350x458.jpg" />"Writing Fabulous Features" teaches the art and craft of feature writing to help readers learning to write non-fiction with flair.10262021-07-22T19:44:34Z2024-03-19T03:55:39ZWriting for Change: An Advanced ELL Resource<img alt="Read more about Writing for Change: An Advanced ELL Resource" title="Writing for Change: An Advanced ELL Resource cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="233" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjY3MSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--e512bd28df6e9b9cf43272ec2468ae182e6f72d5/DSCF2886-350x233.jpg" />This book has been a part of my pandemic journey with a goal of building English language learner resources, gathering up what I have learned about anti-racist, culturally responsive, and decolonization approaches. I know that I have not nearly met this goal in this single resource and that there is so much more to do. I am simply starting on the collective path and am so humbled to join fellow colleagues in the work of rewriting the myths and false narratives of our field. This goes well beyond one specific discipline. It is a call to all educators and all institutions to choose love in action, to choose change. This OER text includes the following: an introduction to creating a collectivist culture to support learning models and activities about multiple ways of organizing ideas in an essay. short readings and discussion highlighting the work of community organizers, activists, and social justice movements writing prompts that ask learners to synthesize, reflect on, and connect to the topics projects inviting learners to apply the content to their community environment additional resources offering multiple modalities for further learning including videos, articles, and podcasts a contrastive and multilingual approach to exploring grammar patterns to support writing11122021-11-19T02:27:00Z2024-01-22T14:52:29ZHow Arguments Work - A Guide to Writing and Analyzing Texts in College<img alt="Read more about How Arguments Work - A Guide to Writing and Analyzing Texts in College" title="How Arguments Work - A Guide to Writing and Analyzing Texts in College cover image" class="cover " width="698" height="694" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MzA5NiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--f32a447f073f7943d07d3ce22e84ef88e0272f13/ewewqewq.JPG" />How Arguments Work takes students through the techniques they will need to respond to readings and make sophisticated arguments in any college class. This is a practical guide to argumentation with strategies and templates for the kinds of assignments students will commonly encounter. It covers rhetorical concepts in everyday language and explores how arguments can build trust and move readers.11252022-01-17T18:41:58Z2024-01-22T14:52:39ZWriting Guide with Handbook<img alt="Read more about Writing Guide with Handbook" title="Writing Guide with Handbook cover image" class="cover " width="488" height="631" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MzMwMywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--2724ca58f77d6e837f243312ef248b80c5d83530/OpenStaxeh.JPG" />Writing Guide with Handbook aligns to the goals, topics, and objectives of many first-year writing and composition courses. It is organized according to relevant genres, and focuses on the writing process, effective writing practices or strategies—including graphic organizers, writing frames, and word banks to support visual learning—and conventions of usage and style. The text includes an editing and documentation handbook, which provides information on grammar and mechanics, common usage errors, and citation styles. Writing Guide with Handbook breaks down barriers in the field of composition by offering an inviting and inclusive approach to students of all intersectional identities. To meet this goal, the text creates a reciprocal relationship between everyday rhetoric and the evolving world of academia. Writing Guide with Handbook builds on students’ life experiences and their participation in rhetorical communities within the familiar contexts of personal interaction and social media. The text seeks to extend these existing skills by showing students how to construct a variety of compelling compositions in a variety of formats, situations, and contexts. The authors conceived and developed Writing Guide with Handbook in 2020; its content and learning experiences reflect the instructional, societal, and individual challenges students have faced. The authors invite students and instructors to practice invitational, rather than confrontational, discussions even as they engage in verbal and written argument. Instructors will be empowered to emphasize meaning and voice and to teach empathy as a rhetorical strategy. Students will be empowered to negotiate their identities and their cultures through language as they join us in writing, discovering, learning, and creating.11302022-02-05T20:18:38Z2024-01-22T14:52:29ZInformed Arguments: A Guide to Writing and Research - Revised Second Edition<img alt="Read more about Informed Arguments: A Guide to Writing and Research - Revised Second Edition" title="Informed Arguments: A Guide to Writing and Research - Revised Second Edition cover image" class="cover " width="648" height="839" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MzM1OSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--f138c6e532490f46ff8d761f99067cb40fb408b8/ENGL104-Informed-Arguments-Pantusso_LeMire_Anders-3.png" />Welcome to composition and rhetoric! While most of you are taking this course because it is required, we hope that all of you will leave with more confidence in your reading, writing, researching, and speaking abilities as these are all elements of freshman composition. Many times, these elements are presented in excellent textbooks written by top scholars. While the collaborators of this particular textbook respect and value those textbooks available from publishers, we have been concerned about students who do not have the resources to purchase textbooks. Therefore, we decided to put together this Open Educational Resource (OER) explicitly for use in freshman composition courses at Texas A&M University. It is important to note that the focus for this text is on thesis-driven argumentation as that is the focus of the first year writing course at Texas A&M University at the time of development. However, other first year writing courses at different colleges and universities include a variety of types of writing such as personal essays, informative articles, and/or creative writing pieces. The collaborators for this project acknowledge each program is unique; therefore, the adaptability of an OER textbook for first year writing allows for academic freedom across campuses.
