Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Freshman Rhetoric The first seven chapters of this book have been completely rewritten, and the remainder thoroughly revised, so that it is in effect a new work. The most important changes are as follows: 1. Whereas the first edition was originally designed to be used with a companion text-book combining a review of grammar and correction of common errors, and was later issued with a supplementary English Drill Course, partly meeting this need, the present edition embodies in Chapters I, III, and V, and in the Glossary of Common Errors at the end of the book, sufficient material for this elementary review. 2. Particular attention is directed to the constructive exercises in sentence and paragraph writing upon assigned topics in Chapters III and V, which, alternated with freer work in connected exposition (Chapters II and IV), have been found to yield good results in combining discipline with spontaneity. The program is so planned as to avoid long unbroken stretches of necessary but monotonous drill. 3. A larger amount of illustrative specimens of expository paragraphs quoted from standard writers has been introduced into Chapter V. 4. The chapter on the library has been carefully revised to bring it up to date and to make it a more complete guide to elementary library research. 5. In order to allow more time for the elementary review during the first six weeks, chapters on study, recitation, and note taking have been omitted, and the oral work has been reduced.

Book excerpt: "Stories from First-Year Composition: Pedagogies that Foster Student Agency and Writing Identity counters perceptions of first-year composition (FYC) as a service course that prepares students for college writing. The collection identifies a new FYC "service", one that accommodates the realities of writing both within and outside of the academy. The collection also offers insights into effective FYC pedagogies and opportunities for readers to consider and think about their own teaching and their identities as FYC instructors. "Reflect Before Reading" prompts and questions and after-reading activities, including "Questions for Discussion and Reflection," writing activities that ask readers to apply ideas shared in chapters to their own FYC courses, suggestions for further reading, and multimedia components (accessible to readers through links within the collection itself and as resources available on the book's website) invite readers to interact with chapters and to develop deeper and more enriched understandings of their FYC teaching and an accompanying sense of agency so that they not only can teach FYC effectively but also advocate for its value and relevance"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practicing Writing examines a pivotal era in the history of the most ubiquitous-and possibly most problematic-course in North American colleges and universities: the requireAd first-year writing course generally known as "freshman English." Thomas Masters's focus is the mid-twentieth century, beginning with the returning waves of World War II veterans attending college on the GI Bill. He then traces the education reforms that took place in the late 1950s after the launch of Sputnik and the establishment of composition as a separate discipline in 1963. This study draws upon archives at three midwestern schools that reflect a range of higher education options: Wheaton, a small, sectarian liberal arts college; Northwestern, a large private university; and Illinois, a large public university.Practicing Writing gives voice to those whose work is often taken for granted or forgotten in other studies of the subject: freshman English students and their instructors. Masters examines students' papers, professors' letters, and course descriptions, and draws upon interviews conducted with teachers to present the practitioners' points of view.Unlike other studies of the subject, which have tended to focus more on the philosophy, theory, and ideology of teaching composition and rhetoric, Masters reveals freshman English to be a practice-based phenomenon with a durable ideological apparatus. By reexamining texts that had previously been considered insignificant, he reveals the substance of first-year composition courses and the reasons for their durability.

Download or read book Composition In The University written by Sharon Crowley and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 1998-05-15 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composition in the University examines the required introductory course in composition within American colleges and universities. According to Sharon Crowley, the required composition course has never been conceived in the way that other introductory courses have been—as an introduction to the principles and practices of a field of study. Rather it has been constructed throughout much of its history as a site from which larger educational and ideological agendas could be advanced, and such agendas have not always served the interests of students or teachers, even though they are usually touted as programs of study that students "need." If there is a master narrative of the history of composition, it is told in the institutional attitude that has governed administration, design, and staffing of the course from its beginnings—the attitude that the universal requirement is in place in order to construct docile academic subjects. Crowley argues that due to its association with literary studies in English departments, composition instruction has been inappropriately influenced by humanist pedagogy and that modern humanism is not a satisfactory rationale for the study of writing. She examines historical attempts to reconfigure the required course in nonhumanist terms, such as the advent of communications studies during the 1940s. Crowley devotes two essays to this phenomenon, concentrating on the furor caused by the adoption of a communications program at the University of Iowa. Composition in the University concludes with a pair of essays that argue against maintenance of the universal requirement. In the last of these, Crowley envisions possible nonhumanist rationales that could be developed for vertical curricula in writing instruction, were the universal requirement not in place. Crowley presents her findings in a series of essays because she feels the history of the required composition course cannot easily be understood as a coherent narrative since understandings of the purpose of the required course have altered rapidly from decade to decade, sometimes in shockingly sudden and erratic fashion. The essays in this book are informed by Crowley's long career of teaching composition, administering a composition program, and training teachers of the required introductory course. The book also draw on experience she gained while working with committees formed by the Conference on College Composition and Communication toward implementation of the Wyoming Resolution, an attempt to better the working conditions of post-secondary teachers of writing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sentences and Thinking: A Practice Book in Sentence Making Sentences and Thinking is a textbook for the first term of Freshman English. Although it could be used as a review of fundamentals at the end of the high school course, it is designed primarily for the college freshman, who can scarcely be said to have mastered fundamentals in composition, but who nevertheless tends to regard himself as sufficiently acquainted with unity, coherence, and emphasis. It is true that the large rhetorics are also designed for the college freshman; but too often they are obsessed with the sacred need of comprehensiveness, or adhere to the language and modes of thought of the old mechanical rhetoric. The authors of this little book, instead of seeking comprehensiveness, have sought absolute essentials; instead of following tradition blindly, have worked out a new approach to Freshman rhetoric the substance being old, of course, but the mode of presentation, it is hoped, fresh and attractive because it is philosophical in a simple way. When the freshman comes to college, he is prepared to exchange his excellent high school conviction that authority is the soundest basis of belief for the equally excellent college conviction that blind faith is the one unpardonable sin and independent inquiry into the nature of things the prerequisite to all progress. We have asked the freshman, not to master rules, but to think out the reasons behind the rules in terms of the psychology of the human mind.
