Welcome to The Writers' Cafe Blog
Welcome to the Writers' Cafe blog. I've started this as a venue for all English 480/580 students to give them the opportunity to share perspectives on their future careers in teaching. My hope is that this will provide a forum for us to carry on conversations that we begin in class that we just don't have time to finish. This blogging space should give us that freedom to really explore what it means to think about teaching writing.
Some of the questions we can explore include the following:
Some of the questions we can explore include the following:
- What goes into being a good teacher?
- What attitudes toward teaching will carry you forward in ways that make teaching a pleasure and a meaningful pursuit throughout your career?
- How can we resolve the many different perspectives on grammar and the teaching of writing that we hear in our class from various class members?
This will be a space in which to share our views on these issues as well as a place to share resources for and approaches to the teaching of writing. So please feel free to contribute and to share your thoughts on any issues that strike you as we continue to study writing theory and pedagogy. Let the games commence!

Although I am not in this class, I look forward to sharing some ideas with this group. When I think of teaching composition, I think of creating possibilities for students to explore both themselves and the world (including ideas) around them. This blog will be an exploration for me; it's fun to interact with new technologies.
