American author Kurt Vonnegut has famously declared that writing is
unteachable, yet formal education persists in that task. Teaching
Writing as Journey, Not Destination is the culmination of P.L.
Thomas's experiences as both a writer and a teacher of writing
reaching into the fourth decade of struggling with both. This
volume collects essays that examine the enduring and contemporary
questions facing writing teachers, including grammar instruction,
authentic practices in high-stakes environments, student choice,
citation and plagiarism, the five-paragraph essay, grading, and the
intersections of being a writer and teaching writing. Thomas offers
concrete classroom experiences drawn from teaching high school ELA,
first-year composition, and a wide range of undergraduate and
graduate courses. Ultimately, however, the essays are a reflection
of Thomas's journey and a concession to both writing and teaching
writing as journeys without ultimate destinations.
