In
chapter twelve of Lane's book, He states that "Teachers who simple tell their students to write about anything will find a status
quo quickly develop in the classroom." (
Pag. 174) I agree with him, I like the way in how he approached Rick the
student that did not want to write. I like the way he told him to write about a bad moment in his life, then he started to write. I think a writer not only have to write about
wonderful times, but about bad times as well. In my
opinion, students should have the freedom to choose their own topics.
So true and as a species there is nothing more interesting to us as our own experience and how it stacks up against that of others. I think personal narrative is a great place to get students writing.
ReplyDeleteYes, we have to dig deeper and look at those other experiences. I have found when I do memoir writing about the bad times it helps me understand the event better.
