PREFACEWHAT’S NEW IN THE THIRD EDITIONBy listening to teacher and student feedback, we delight in continuing to strengthen The Little DK Handbook. In this third edition, you’ll find such new content as:

1 New sections in Parts 3 and 4 that build on The Little DK Handbook’s established reputation for outstanding coverage of working with sources.

• Explanations of how to evaluate sources for integrity in addition to relevance and credibility.

• Expanded strategies for reading sources: for example, help distinguishing between fact and opinion.

• Discussion of specific reasons a writer uses sources in their project: for a definition or specific argument, to set up a problem, to spark one’s own thinking.

2 New discussion in Part 1 about design and presentation: planning for academic projects, including how to consider design and presentation from the outset of an assignment.

3 New coverage of how to compose multimodal research projects. Part 5 includes guidance and models for arranging visual texts and oral presentation. Part 7 addresses visual style and style for oral presentations, including sample slides from an oral presentation based on the student research project featured throughout the 3e.

Revel is an interactive learning environ-ment that deeply engages students and prepares them for class. Media and assess-ment integrated directly within the authors’ narrative lets students read, explore interac-tive content, and practice in one continuous learning path. Thanks to the dynamic read-ing experience in Revel, students come to class prepared to discuss, apply, and learn from instructors and from each other.

Turn to the Revel edition of The Little DK Handbook 3e to see:

• A full APA student research paper, with extended comments on writing choices and formatting.

• A complete sample student oral presentation, with slide show, excerpted in Part 7 of the print edition.

• Interactive widgets for checking learning by (for example) dragging and dropping punctuation into place.

4 New model student documents. The student documents in The Little DK Handbook feature one student’s research project, from inception through final draft. This project is all new in the 3e, and so the accompanying student model documents are also all new and updated.

The new student texts include research questions, working bibliography, notes on a sample source, annotated bibliography, sources in dialogue with each other, rhetorical analysis, thesis statement, statement of purpose, rough draft, revision plan, slide show to accompany an oral presentation, and a final research paper in MLA and APA formats.

5 Each Part now opens with a list of learning objectives tied to the WPA Outcomes and the content of each Part.

6 Part 7 features the most current MLA guidelines for documenting sources, as outlined in the MLA Handbook 8e.
