If we listen to students, it becomes clear that we're doing real damage with the way they're asked to read and write in school. insidehighered.com/blogs/just-vis… Thanks to @aschoenborn for sharing the testimonies of his students.
@aschoenborn Interesting, entirely unplanned connection between my post and @deandad's post today. Notice how challenged his daughter is by a genuine writing problem, and then how satisfied she is to have created something which "sounds like me." insidehighered.com/blogs/confessi…
@aschoenborn @deandad Interestingly, the writing his daughter was doing was extracurricular. Of course, there's no reason why that kind of writing experience can't also be central to the actual curriculum.
@aschoenborn @deandad Have I mentioned that I have a book out filled with writing experiences that seek to do just that, challenge writers to solve genuine problems? penguinrandomhouse.com/books/566892/t…
