Preface
This Instructor’s Manual contains answers to all the questions and non-self-graded exercises in From Idea to Essay: A Reader, Rhetoric, and Handbook, Eleventh Edition. Although most of the exercises have one correct answer, a few of the Questions on Meaning and Technique are designed to evoke argument among the students and are therefore subject to several interpretive answers. These we have indicated with the expression, “Allow for open discussion.” In the handbook section, some exercises may have more than one acceptable solution. In such cases, the solutions provided serve as examples of appropriate student responses. References to pages in the main text are reproduced here where necessary.

For each of the professional selections in Chapters 8 through 16, this guide provides a simple, short multiple-choice quiz that may be used by the instructor to determine whether students have actually read the essay. In this edition of the manual, these quizzes are grouped together and featured first for easy access to the instructor. Each is printed on a separate sheet and may be reproduced and magnified with a copier. Answers to the quizzes are given in Part Two of this manual.

Possible uses for the Instructor’s Manual are numerous. The teacher can use the exercises and questions to test the students' mastery of the chapter, referring to the answers to facilitate marking. Or, the teacher may wish to reproduce the answers to selected chapters and distribute these to the students for self-testing.
