For courses in Integrated Reading and Writing at the paragraph/essay level.

In Concert: An Integrated Approach to Reading and Writing engages students by presenting each chapter in the context of a resonant theme, such as overcoming adversity, Internet dating, and the Black Lives Matter movement. Student and professional essays start each chapter and serve as the basis for instruction, illustration, and practice. Author Kathleen McWhorter emphasises critical thinking throughout, which helps to prepare students for their college courses and beyond.
