The Norton Sampler

by Thomas Cooley

Overview

Short, diverse essays that spark students’ interest—now with more reading support.

An engaging collection of 65 short essays organized by the writing strategies all writers use: narration, description, comparison, and more. Readings on diverse experiences and perspectives make The Norton Sampler a book students will enjoy reading—and will learn from. One-third of the readings are new—including a thematic cluster “Whose Stories Get Heard—and Why Does It Matter?,” and the Tenth Edition includes new support for building strong reading strategies.
