With emphasis on practical classroom application, this up-to-date
and refreshingly honest collection of essays is a wonderful
resource for teaching creative writing. "Dispatches from the
Classroom" is a collection of pedagogical essays written by
graduate students, with an emphasis on practical classroom
application. Divided into four sections - "Laying the Ground
Rules", "What is 'Appropriate' for the Workshop?", "Teaching
'Technique'", and "The Hybrid TA", it explores issues of daily
concern to creative writing instructors from many viewpoints.
Although these essays draw on recent theoretical scholarship, the
emphasis remains on ways in which theory can be applied to course
structure, student interaction, and other practical concerns. Also
examined is the unusual blend of teaching assignments that Teaching
Assistants face, addressing ways that the creative writer can apply
her skills to composition instruction and even writing center
tutoring. These essays have been selected from the work of current
graduate students in creative writing, all of whom have very recent
experience of dealing with these specific issues in the classroom.
This anthology will not only provide Teaching Assistants with an
introduction to current issues in creative writing pedagogy, but
also with a much-needed teaching resource for their introductory
courses.
