Today's academic world involves rhetoric in all its dimensions: oral, visual, and written. Writing in Three Dimensions helps students approach their writing through attention to its oral and visual elements. Linda Woodson and Margaret Batschelet lead students through eight purposes for writing -- reflecting, reporting, instructing, proposing, evaluating, explaining, and arguing. While absorbing these writing skills, students are given specific guidance for making oral activities (i.e., peer work, interviewing) more successfully a part of their writing process and for designing visual elements to enhance their written communication.
