| This book is part of the The Elements of Clear Thinking series. Each book in this series provides instruction, examples, and exercises to sharpen students' ability to understand, analyze, and evaluate the spoken and written word in formal and informal contexts. Accurate Communication asks students to analyze and label what they read, and to translate or rewrite selections. Sound Reasoning teaches students to distinguish between good and bad arguments. Critical Reading teaches reading strategies, including prereading, skimming, and recognizing organizational patterns. The Elements of Clear Thinking is especially appreciated by educators who recognize that today's students, while sophisticated in their knowledge of high technology and electronic media, are often deficient in both reading and writing skills. Students will acquire useful study skills for many different subjects, strengthen their verbal communication skills, and recognize the applicability of thinking skills to all phases of their lives. |

Attention is given to slanted language, positive and negative connotations, verbiage ambiguity, triteness, jargon, and figurative language, with the focus on the way words can color preceptions, as well as promote, hinder, or block communication. The book also presents 6 common organizational patterns used by writers and introduces argumentation as a special kind of communication. Students learn to distinguish fact from opinion, separate reasons from conclusions, and judge the quality of a persuasive argument. |
