Observing, from Purpose and Process

Stephen Reid's other book, Purpose and Process, has a useful section on "observing" (Chapter 3) that can supplement the PHG well. It contains many sample essays and discusses purpose in writing. "Remembering," Chapter Four, is also quite effective and provides some great tips/guidelines. Purpose and Process by Stephen Reid, was published by Prentice Hall in 1991.
