About this blog… May 7, 2008
Posted by dpaster in : Uncategorized , add a commentStudent writing can be powerful, moving, and strong writing. Many times when I am reading students essays, I am struck by the sense that this writing should move, that it should circulate beyond our classroom and to a larger audience. This site serves as a place for students to publish the writing they compose for the College Writing classes I teach for the University of Massachusetts Writing Program. Students who publish their work on this site are going public with texts they have written for EN 111 or 112. By publishing their work here, they are inviting a public beyond our class to read their work and comment on their texts. While most of this public audience will be comprised of my future and past students, I also invite my colleagues to visit this site. I encourage readers to comment on the texts they read here and to do so in thoughtful and respectful ways. This is a place for student writing to be read—this is a place for student voices to be heard.
