Social Class Reproduction
Four Rules for Teaching Writing:
Always give writing assignments that
1. you will enjoy reading;
2. students will enjoy writing;
3. students will enjoy reading what others in the class have written
4. you will enjoy writing.
If any one of these conditions were not true, then it probably wasn't a very good assignment.
Advice I give to my students: When your words surprise you, you know you are writing.
