Disciplinary Permeations: Complicating The "Public" And The "Private" Dualism In Composition And Rhetoric, Erica E. Rogers
Disciplinary Permeations: Complicating The "Public" And The "Private" Dualism In Composition And Rhetoric, Erica E. Rogers
Department of English: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
As Composition and Rhetoric rose in disciplinary status and academic legitimacy the discourse practice of negation, the positioning of texts in oppositional binaries that set the “new” over the “old,” the “novel” over the “familiar,” became embedded in academic tradition, seeming to be an inherited part of scholarship instead of an individual’s rhetorical choice and deliberate ethos strategy. Negation, when one idea or set of ideas constructed by another is critiqued, advocated, and/or redeveloped by another scholar, is a discourse practice firmly established in the Rhetorical Tradition as part of Socratic dialogues, reappears in “modern rhetoric”, and remains today as …
“Critical Habitat” And Other Stories, Jon Michael Mitchell
“Critical Habitat” And Other Stories, Jon Michael Mitchell
Honors Theses
The nature of writing, that is, storytelling, is difficult to discuss in a technical manner. Often it is easier to demonstrate by example rather than theory how storytelling does and does not work. This thesis is a collection of short stories written to practice the art of writing and storytelling. They do not follow a central theme or motif; they are self-contained projects demonstrating the application of the theories discussed in the introduction. The point of this thesis is not to show the correct way to write or provide examples of perfect stories. It is to show the learning process …

Why And How To Increase The Amount Of Writing In Utah's Schools, Sarah Orme
Why And How To Increase The Amount Of Writing In Utah's Schools, Sarah Orme
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
The writing culture in elementary schools and secondary schools needs to change if students are going to be equipped for their future academic and career goals. An ideal writing culture promotes advanced writing by encouraging more writing, sharing, and a sense that everyone in the classroom is a developing writer. The writing students produce shows that this type of writing culture is not being nurtured in many secondary schools. It is apparent that the ideal writing culture in secondary schools is not being achieved because of the writing students produce. Arthur Applebee and Judith Langer, in connection with the National …
Weaving Workplace Writing Into The English Classroom, Bruce Robbins
Weaving Workplace Writing Into The English Classroom, Bruce Robbins
Bruce Robbins
Often the question surrounding workplace literacy is not so much whether English teachers should bring some workplace reading and writing into the curriculum, but how to do so in an already overcrowded curriculum. Robbins suggests some ways that teachers might weave workplace literacy into the existing fabric of the classroom without displacing the important things they teach now.
Writing At Transitions: Using In-Class Writing As A Learning Tool, Nate Mickelson
Writing At Transitions: Using In-Class Writing As A Learning Tool, Nate Mickelson
Publications and Research
Drawing on the fundamentals of Writing to Learn pedagogy, this article describes how teachers across the disciplines can use in-class writing as a learning tool. Because in-class writing activities foreground the power of writing as a means for processing and integrating information, using writing prompts during times of transition common to every class—at the beginning or end of class, when moving from topic to topic or activity to activity, or at the conclusion of a particularly rich discussion—can serve to focus and extend student engagement. Offering practical advice and examples from his own teaching experiences, the author shows how structuring …
