The Elephant in the Classroom
Author: Jane Bowman Smith
Publisher: Hampton Press (NJ)
ISBN: 9781572738942
Category : African Americans
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
While many works have been written about African American students and composition, they tend to examine the students themselves. This collection examines the social construct of the classroom itself. In examining the classroom as a social construct, chapters consider the academy's traditions and expectations for writing and the teaching of writing; the importance of understanding student writers; and ultimately, strategies and approaches that are more likely to help both instructors and students create a classroom community.
