Exploring College Writing: Reading, Writing and Researching across
the Curriculum is a rhetoric for first-year and sophomore
composition courses that uses a constructivist, ethnographic
approach to introducing students to academic reading, writing, and
researching. This text will be especially useful to composition
instructors who wish to provide students with both a general
overview of academic discourse and an introduction to the purposes,
audiences, and genres of writing across disciplines. This textbook
works from the premise that the best way to initiate students to
academic discourse is to have them explore academic literacies
using an ethnographic, fieldwork approach to their own institution.
Students are cast in the role of researchers, exploring their own
experiences as college writers and investigating writing in General
Education and in their prospective majors. The book provides
instructors and students sequences of engaging and exploratory
Writing to LearnA" and Learn by DoingA" activities and formal,
extended writing projects that ask students to interview
professors, analyze writing assignments, and reflect on their own
reading, writing, and researching processes and histories. These
writing projects connect to students' interests, experiences, and
goals and provide them with a sense of purpose and audience for
writing.
