Writing Well in School and Beyond is based on twenty years of experience teaching college composition and four years teaching high school English. Michael Berger provides students with novel ideas about writing and engage them to rethink whether they can write well. In an accessible voice, Berger explains how writing works, conveying best practices of college instruction while addressing the concerns, misimpressions, and reservations of high school students and college freshmen. Berger’s book preaches the gospel that anyone with basic literacy can learn to write expository and argumentative prose well.
