Conversations about Writing

Eavesdropping, Inkshedding and Joining In

By: M. Elizabeth Sargent,Cornelia C. (Cornelia Catherine) Paraskevas

Created by a writing expert and a linguist, Conversations about Writing, an innovative composition reader, is based on the assumption that the subject of a writing class should be writing itself. Bringing composition theory into the writing classroom, this reader introduces students to the major theories and debates in composition theory, and explores through a variety of genres how one is taught to write and how writers develop ideas of correct writing. The text provides a range of readings on language, research on the writing process, debates about academic versus personal writing, and reflections by many writers--from poets and fiction writers to scientists--on how and why they write. Through sustained reflective practice and exploratory writing (encouraged by frequent writing prompts throughout the book), students using this text can become more conscious of their own writing processes and of the choices open to them as writers.
