The volume also offers challenging practice questions, as well as two finished essays, one serious and one humorous, that demonstrate how attention to sound mechanics need not result in mechanical writing.Steven M. Cahn & Victor L. Cahn help readers deploy a host of corrective strategies, such a

    A long-time writing program administrator and well-respected iconoclast, Irvin Peckham is strongly identified with progressive ideologies in education. However, in Going North Thinking West, Peckham mounts a serious critique of what is called critical pedagogy & mdash;primarily a project of the academic left & mdash;in spite of his own sympathies there. College composition is fundamentally a middle-class enterprise, and is conducted by middle-class professionals, while student demographics show increasing presence of the working class. In spite of best intentions to ameliora

    In a landmark collaboration, five co-authors develop a theme of ordinary disruptions (""the everyday"") as a source of provocative learning moments that can liberate both student writers and writing center staff. At the same time, the authors parlay Etienne Wenger's concept of ""community of practice"" into an ethos of a dynamic, learner-centered pedagogy that is especially well-suited to the peculiar teaching situation of the writing center. They push themselves and their field toward deeper, more significant research, more self-conscious teaching Introduction -- Trickster at your table -- Beat (not) the (poor) clock -- Origami anyone? Tutors as learners -- Straighten up and fly right: writers as tutors, tutors as writers -- Everyday racism: anti-racism work and writing center practice -- Everyday administration, or are we having fun yet?

    Yancey explores reflection as a promising body of practice and inquiry in the writing classroom. Yancey develops a line of research based on concepts of philosopher Donald Schon and others involving the role of deliberative reflection in classroom contexts. Developing the concepts of reflection-in-action, constructive reflection, and reflection-in-presentation, she offers a structure for discussing how reflection operates as students compose individual pieces of writing, as they progress through successive writings, and as they deliberately review a compiled body of their work-a portfo

    "In this book, Jonathan Alexander argues for the development of students' "sexual literacy." Such a literacy is not just concerned with developing fluency in sexuality as a "hot" topic, but with understanding the intimate interconnectedness of sexuality and literacy in Western culture. Alexander unpacks what he sees as a crucial dimension of literacy: the fundamental ways in which sexuality has become a key component of contemporary literate practice, of the stories we tell about ourselves, our communities, and our political investments."--Jacket
