Read, Write, Think:  A Rhetoric for the Real World reflects the experience of a seasoned practitioner of composition teaching and composition pedagogy.  It is written in a voice that engages in a conversation with students.  The text is unique in how it approaches:

  • reading, writing, and thinking as interdependent activities
  • the writing process as an embodiment of these interdependent activities through traditional and contemporary invention strategies with an emphasis on how writing functions in addition to what it says and means
  • annotation of sources and the development of issues and our arguments about them
  • modes of discourse as the building blocks of organization and drafting
  • the value of peer vs instructor review in empowering writers
  • how these features of composition anticipate and amplify the tasks we face as citizens in a self-governing society.

Read, Write, Think:  A Rhetoric for the Real World is especially designed to allow for instructors to select supporting readings that will both reflect their interests and appeal to students.

Wesley Hellman

A native of North Dakota, Wesley Hellman began teaching at the University of Mary in 1991. Since then, he has taught over 120 sections of Composition and more than 20 different courses throughout the English department's curriculum. In addition, he's directed five theater productions, two Bush Foundation faculty development grants, and served as a board member for the Collaboration for the Advancement of College Teaching and Learning. He is the proud father of three grown daughters, and he and his wife love to spend time with their seven grandchildren. He relaxes by cooking and taking long walks.

He's long been interested in rhetorical theory, cultural history, and criticism, writing across the curriculum, and 19th and 20th century Irish history and literature. He especially loves to teach the Modernist novel and to conduct analyses that expose and subvert the dominant ideological view.
