| Abstract | In a pilot study based on a project underwritten by the United States Department of Education to add more study of international issues to writing courses, revisions in content to both a first your and an advanced composition course were tested during 1993-94. The method for the classroom procedures was also changed to enhance the greater responsibility of the students as researchers, writers, and editors. Using a sequence of expanding writing assignments and varying types of workshops, the writing course curriculum facilitates students' individual and group proficiencies in focus, description, audience awareness, and self awareness. A writing instructor at Davis & Elkins College, West Virginia, redesigned first year and advanced composition courses to have this new content imperative. The assignments ran through a variety of open-sided (as opposed to open-ended) topics. The second term first-year course focused on environmental topics. Students wrote about such topics as the indigenous people of Central America, infanticide, contemporary Fascism, the former Soviet Republics, and Appalachia. The introduction of a tangible audience into the classroom is a vital element for the teacher and student. (An appendix contains five assignment sheets from the first-year first term course in the project.) (RS) |
