Why Teach ''Research As A Conversation'' In Freshman Composition Courses? A Metaphor To Help Librarians And Composition Instructors Develop A Shared Model, P. S. Mcmillen, E. Hill
Why Teach ''Research As A Conversation'' In Freshman Composition Courses? A Metaphor To Help Librarians And Composition Instructors Develop A Shared Model, P. S. Mcmillen, E. Hill
Library Faculty Research
Ongoing discussion between the Oregon State University (OSU) libraries' acting instruction coordinator and the Assistant Composition Coordinator focuses on improving collaboration between our programs and more effectively integrating the research process into the English composition curriculum. We briefly describe a qualitative analysis of the problems with students' writing that led us to develop a new model for integrating the research and writing processes. We provide our rationale for selecting conversation as a metaphor for research and summarize suggested teaching strategies from the literature that are consistent with this metaphor and approach.

Lynn Z. Bloom. The Seven Deadly Virtues.

Editors' Message
At Risk: Teaching and Writing Outside the Safety Zone
In 1983, the National Commission on Excellence in Education released its damning indictment of American education. In the opening sentence of the report, the authors announce: "Our Nation is at risk." National prosperity, security, and civility are being "eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity" resulting from the failures of our schools and colleges.
Within this context "risk," defined by Webster's as "the possibility of suffering loss," is something to be avoided, or, if that is not possible, something to be managed. Thus, children struggling for success in school …
Critical Thinking Skills And Emotional-Response Discourse: Merging The Affective And Cognitive In Student-Authored Texts Through Taxonomy Usage, Ed Comber
