Text writing assignments use literature as a tool of critical thought, a method for analysis, and a way of communicating ideas. This approach emphasizes writing as the focus of the book with literature as the means to write effectively.  A four-part organization combines a literary anthology with composition instruction and a style handbook so students have everything they need at their fingertips.
