The Dolphin Reader
Author: Douglas Hunt, Carolyn Perry

When this flagship thematic reader first appeared in the 1980s, instructors appreciated its rigorous approach and challenging essays. This revision harks back to the classic Dolphin Reader, with its timeless selections, lengthier readings, and streamlined apparatus. — Compiled by a longtime freshman composition coordinator and current director of... more » a writing-across-the-curriculum program, The Dolphin Reader is designed to engage students and provide instructors with flexibility and variety. The 87 carefully selected, class-tested readings are arranged in thematic units that prepare students to face some of the central questions in a wide range of academic disciplines. While the selections vary in level of challenge, all are solid models of clarity and style. Unlike many freshman readers, The Dolphin Reader also includes a unit of longer nonfiction that ties together themes from several units. The 87 high-interest selections, ranging from the classic to the contemporary, and featuring a variety of genres, topics, and styles, offer instructors countless options for teaching. Writers include Flannery O'Connor, Gloria Steinem, E.M. Forster, Alice Walker, George Orwell, and Martin Luther King, Jr.New! Updated assignments and paper topics guide students to write in various styles, from autobiographical to historical, while helping them make connections and comparisons among essays.New Unit! A unit of four nonfiction masterpieces includes Lytton Strachey's "Florence Nightengale" and Joan Didion's "Slouching Toward Bethlehem." These renowned longer selections are not available in comparable readers, and they give students an opportunity not only to read some of the finest prose of the last century, but also to apply insights drawn from several of the thematic units to a longer work.One-third of the selections are chosen to guide students toward reportage and argumentation, rather than personal response writing.New! The Instructor's Resource Manual has been entirely rewritten to make it even more useful to the professor, with hundreds of questions for discussion and writing; lesson plans and reading quizzes for each unit; and summaries, lesson plans, and style exercises for every selection. New! Revised style exercises in the Instructor's Manual, drawn from reading selections, offer classroom activities for sentence construction and highlight various authors' ways of handling technical points that might otherwise go unnoticed.
