The Practice of Creative Writing: A Guide for Students
by Heather Sellers"The Practice of Creative Writing" is designed for all students in the introductory course, including those who may never take another writing class. Its message is, simply put: you can do this, and it's worthwhile to try. Heather Sellers, who writes in multiple genres herself, has developed an approach that focuses on the habits and strategies that produce good writing in any genre. These habits and strategies make it possible for students to focus, to generate lots of writing, and to get to the good stuff -- the powerful imagery and the stories they really want to tell. She makes creative writing fun by providing opportunities to be playful and to experiment at the same time she teaches students the importance of discipline and craft.
The Practice of Creative Writing: A Guide for Students
by Heather SellersWhen it comes to writing, The Practice of Creative Writing has a simple message: you can do this, and it’s worthwhile to try. Designed for students in the introductory course, The Practice of Creative Writing teaches writers how to trust their own voice, experiment with form, and develop a writing process that allows them to spend more productive time at the desk. Rather than locking into one genre early, writers are encouraged to work among and in between genres and to focus on creating a writing practice that privileges close observation, patience, and techniques of pattern, energy, and shape. <p><p>Heather Sellers, who writes in multiple genres herself, has developed a lively, welcoming, student-centered approach that teaches creative concentration, close reading, and generating pages. She provides opportunities to be playful and to experiment at the same time that she teaches students the importance of discipline, form, and craft. Heather Sellers is a certified online instructor, and The Practice of Creative Writing is designed to be used in traditional face-to-face classrooms or in online education. <p><p>Each chapter begins with objectives for that module. Prompts and writing practices are carefully sequenced. Every chapter ends with both genre-specific writing projects alongside hybrid and experimental prompts. The readings included in this new edition invite students to experience an even wider range of innovative and new literatures. A new chapter on creative ways to approach revision as a shaping practice engaged throughout the writing process helps students work harder on their writing.

The Practice of Statistics for the AP® Exam
by Daren S. Starnes Josh TaborAlong came Dan Yates. His vision for such a text became reality with the publication of The Practice of Statistics (TPS) in 1998. Over a million students have used one of the first five editions of TPS for AP® Statistics! Dan also championed the importance of developing high-quality resources for AP® Statistics teachers, which were originally provided in a Teachers' Resource Binder. We stand on the shoulders of two giants in statistics education as we carry forward their visions in this and future editions. The Practice of Statistics has continued to evolve, thanks largely to the support of our longtime editor and team captain, Ann Heath. Her keen eye for design is evident throughout the pages of the student and teacher's editions. More importantly, Ann's ability to oversee all of the complex pieces of this project while maintaining a good sense of humor is legendary. Ann has continually challenged everyone involved with TPS to innovate in ways that benefit AP® Statistics students and teachers. She is a good friend and an inspirational leader.
