Research Writing Revisited: A Sourcebook for Teachers
Pavel Zemliansky, Wendy Bishop
Boynton/Cook, 2004
It's no wonder that students resist the conventional research paper and that teachers burn out on its routines; its formal, stodgy, and rigidly academic boundaries allow for little deviation or creative expression. Indeed, the time has come to brush the dust off research-writing pedagogy and reimagine it into the twenty-first century classroom with fresh approaches that breathe life into both the papers themselves and the instruction that ...

The Subject Is Story (Teaching the Novels of YA Authors)1 review
Wendy Bishop, Hans Ostrom
Boynton/Cook, 2003
Storytelling is Eternal
The excellent essays in this collection support Jerome Bruner's theories on narrative being the basis for all human communication. Written for English composition educators, this book is full of ideas for engaging students with autobiographical writing (supported by research) and the seemingly inborn desire to tell stories. I would recommend the book for all who are interested in the ...
