Discussion Leaderships

Barwarshi, Anis S. and Mary Jo Reiff. Genre: An Introduction to History, Theory, Research, and Pedagogy Chapter 10

1. "According to Bazerman, research on WTL suggests “the possibility that the cognitive task 
and practices associated with the production of genres may be related to their potential for 
supporting various forms of learning” (287)

Can genre be used as a 'cognitive tool'? What do you think of Hallydian's third genre teaching porposition?

2. Which 'Detective Story' Workshop is the most/least effective writing strategy? Why?





Elbow, Peter. “Breathing Life into the Text.” 


1, How do you feel about Elbow's second approach to teaching The Tempest? Could there 
be another way of entering into the play before reading it instead of writing about holding a grudge?


2. "I find it a pedagogically helpful enterprise to require things I don't grade." I think this 
is really helpful, but not necessarily for everyone (neither students nor teachers). Whom does it 
benefit more, the student or the teacher? How helpful would it be to you, and why?
