Cornerstones consists of high-interest, well-known readings with comprehensive apparatus
aimed for freshman level developmental composition courses. The readings are mostly essays and short stories.
Each reading contains innovative apparatus that provides important support for the student and numerous
writing and discussion opportunities. There are four introductory chapters — one each on active
reading, essay structure, writing in response to reading, and the writing process.
The database contains introductory chapters on each rhetorical pattern, with information on purpose,
supporting detail, and organization, along with an annotated student essay, and topic suggestions. There
are paragraph models of each rhetorical pattern. An answer key is also available.
