FUSION: INTEGRATED READING AND WRITING, Book 2 is a developmental English book for reading and writing at the essay level. It provides a holistically integrated reading and writing approach, making it easy for instructors to teach the basics of reading and writing in one blended course -- and showing students how the reading and writing processes are reciprocal and reinforcing. FUSIONs structure highlights critical reading strategies side-by-side with the shared traits of writing, such as main idea, details, and organization, and guides students in analyzing reading to generate writing. The book teaches the types of writing (including research) that students will encounter in their future courses. Grammar instruction includes integrated, practical exercises that use high-interest professional and student models.
