Book synopsis

In this descriptive, qualitative study, the §English instructor Don Pardlow §uses a variety of verse drafting and narrative §drafting techniques to teach a class of freshman §English composition students editing, revising, and§critical thinking skills. At the beginning Pardlow §focuses primarily on the key cruces to the use of §creative writing pedagogy, teacher control and the §transfer of student §writing skills from narrative, expressive discourse §to expository, arugumentative, and research §discourses. He arrives at a working conclusion for §these problem, but in the course of the study§new issues, issues of language, of language §acquisition, of identity, and of gender emerge and §not only change the original focus of the study but §also reveal new definitions of creative writing, §definitions which argue for its expansion beyond the §context of the freshman English composition §classroom.
