Denise David, Barbara Gordon, and Rita Pollard. Seeking Common Ground: Guiding Assumptions for Writing Courses.

David, Denise, Barbara Gordon and Rita Pollard. "Seeking Common Ground: Guiding Assumptions for Writing Courses." CCC 46.4 (1995): 522-532.

Abstract:

The authors contend the response to Maxine Hairston's article, "Diversity, Ideology and Teaching Writing," marks a critical debate about the purpose of the writing course. They claim the debate needs clear assumptions to demarcate what constitutes a writing course. They claim the assumptions should be: 1) the development of writing ability and metacognitive awareness as the primary objective of the writing course, 2) student's writing as the privileged text in a writing course, and 3) writing as the subject of a writing course.
