How’s that for alliteration? Systematic, explicit instruction in students’ giving and receiving feedback keyed to a writer’s intentions for a piece or collection of pieces isn’t usually a high-level objective in the official writing curriculum. It’s production that garners good grades. Nowadays topics like making a claim, amassing textual evidence for the claim, addressing counterclaims, etc. get top billing—and form and structure, can’t forget form and structure—and conventions.
Wonderful to read, Terry, and so much to learn from your methods. Thank you!
