What's in the Book

The Norton Field Guide covers 14 genres often assigned in college. Much of the book is in the form of guidelines, designed to help students consider the choices they have as writers. The book is organized into nine parts:

ACADEMIC LITERACIES. Chapters 1–4 focus on writing and reading in academic contexts, summarizing and responding, and developing academic habits of mind.
rhetorical situations. Chapters 5–9 focus on purpose, audience, genre, stance, and media and design. In addition, almost every chapter includes tips to help students focus on their rhetorical situations.
genres. Chapters 10–23 cover 14 genres, 4 of them — literacy narrative, textual analysis, report, and argument — treated in greater detail.
Chapter 24 helps students choose genres when they need to.
processes. Chapters 25–32 offer advice for generating ideas and text, drafting, revising and rewriting, editing, proofreading, compiling a portfolio, collaborating with others, and writing as inquiry.
strategies. Chapters 33–44 cover ways of developing and organizing text — writing effective beginnings and endings, titles and thesis statements, comparing, describing, and so on. Chapter 44 offers strategies for taking essay exams.
research/documentation. Chapters 45–53 offer advice on how to do academic research; work with sources; quote, paraphrase, and summarize source materials; and document sources using MLA and APA styles.
media/design. Chapters 54–58 give guidance on choosing the appropriate print, electronic, or spoken medium; designing text; using images and sound; giving spoken presentations; and writing online.
readings. Chapters 59–69 provide readings in ten genres, plus one chapter of readings that mix genres. Discussion questions are colorcoded to refer students to relevant details elsewhere in the book.
handbook. At the end of the book is a handbook to help students edit what they write, organized around the intuitive categories of sentences, language, and punctuation to make it easy to use.
