Acting on Words is a rhetoric that is designed with an interlinked structure and meant to be explored from various angles, giving students the flexibility to begin with readings, writing practice, or grammar review. The new second edition of this indigenous Canadian text has been reorganized to highlight the expanded rhetoric section, includes an expanded discussion of argumentation, and now features increased Canadian content on topics more relevant to Canadian youth, and more representative samples from younger writers.

Acting on Words is a reader, rhetoric, handbook which cultivates the skills and awareness needed for sound writing and critical thinking. This text provides a comprehensive blend of readings, instruction, usage guidelines, and ESL help, all developed to provide clear accurate and complete information that serves, rather than dictates, a student's method to approaching composition.
