College Writing and Beyond Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle

Composition research consistently demonstrates that the social context of writing determines the majority of conventions any writer must observe. Still, most universities organize the required first-year composition course as if there were an intuitive set of general writing "skills" usable across academic and work-world settings. In College Writing and Beyond: A New Framework for University Writing Instruction, Anne Beaufort reports on a longitudinal study comparing one student’s experience in FYC, in history, in engineering, and in his post-college writing. Her data illuminate the struggle of college students to transfer what they learn about "general writing" from one context to another. Her findings suggest ultimately not that we must abolish FYC, but that we must go beyond even genre theory in reconceiving it. Accordingly, Beaufort would argue that the FYC course should abandon its hope to teach a sort of general academic discourse, and instead should systematically teach strategies of responding to contextual elements that impinge on the writing situation. Her data urge attention to issues of learning transfer, and to developmentally sound linkages in writing instruction within and across disciplines. Beaufort advocates special attention to discourse community theory, for its power to help students perceive and understand the context of writing.

Patterns of Power Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle

Jeff Anderson and literacy coach Whitney La Rocca take you into primary and intermediate classrooms where students are curious about language, engage with the world around them, and notice and experiment with the conventions all writers use. Instead of chanting grammar rules or completing countless convention worksheets, we invite young writers to explore conventions as special effects devices that activate meaning. Our students study authentic texts and come to recognize these "patterns of power"--the essential grammar conventions that readers and writers require to make meaning. The first part of the book introduces a vibrant approach to grammar instruction and sets up what you need to immerse yourself in the Patterns of Power process, inviting students to experiment and play with language. The second part of the book offers over seventy practical, ready-to-use lessons, including: Extensive support materials Over 100 mentor sentences, curated for grades 1-5 Student work samples Tips and power notes to facilitate your own knowledge and learning Examples for application In Patterns of Power Jeff and Whitney suggest that taking just five minutes from your reading workshop and five minutes from your writing workshop to focus on how the conventions connect reading and writing will miraculously affect your students' understanding of how language works for readers and writers.

Small Groups in Writing Workshops Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle

Providing personal yet professional guidelines for introducing students to the life of a writer, this book provides a rationale, a set of principles, and some possible methods for using small groups in writing workshops. The book discusses how small groups can provide growing writers with the four essentials which all writers need: time for writing; ownership over their topics and processes; ongoing responses to their writing; and exposure to the writing of others. Chapters in the book are: (1) "Invitations to a Writer's Life: Guidelines for Designing Small-Group Writing Classes" (Robert Brooke); (2) "Our Students' Experiences with Groups" (Robert Brooke and others); (3) "Teaching from Experience, Claiming Small Groups" (Robert Brooke and others); (4) "Model Groups and Un-Model Writers: Introducing First- and Second-Year College Students to a Writer's Life" (Ruth Mirtz); (5) "Individualization and Group Work: A Small-Group Writing Workshop and Individualized Invitations to a Writer's Life" (Robert Brooke); (6) "Changing the Frame: Writing, Reading, and Learning about Writing in Small Groups" (Rick Evans); (7) "A Conversation about Small Groups" (Ruth Mirtz); and (8) "Exhortation: Beyond the Small Group--Personal, Pedagogical, and Professional Lives" (Robert Brooke and others). An annotated list of 11 recommended readings is attached. (RS)
