Community Writing: Researching Social Issues Through Composition de Paul S. Collins

Community Writing: Researching Social Issues Through Composition: Language, Culture, and Teaching Series

Autor Paul S. Collins
en Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 2001

În volumul Community Writing, autorul Paul S. Collins propune o abordare riguroasă a cursurilor de compoziție pentru primul an universitar, transformând scrisul dintr-un exercițiu abstract într-un instrument de cercetare socială. Suntem de părere că forța acestui manual rezidă în structura sa recursivă: fiecare capitol introduce sarcini de scriere scurte care se transformă treptat în lucrări de cercetare ample. Cuprinsul reflectă fidel această progresie, pornind de la identificarea unei probleme locale, trecând prin analiza soluțiilor și culminând cu redactarea unei lucrări de semestru.

Descoperim aici o metodologie care pune accent pe cercetarea primară și pe competențele digitale. Manualul ghidează studenții nu doar în redactarea textelor, ci și în construirea propriilor site-uri web, oferind criterii stricte pentru verificarea veridicității surselor online. Un element distinctiv este secțiunea dedicată utilizării Freedom of Information Act, oferind viitorilor cercetători acces la date oficiale pentru a-și susține argumentele. Recomandăm acest titlu ca o alternativă pragmatică la Writing and Community Action de Thomas Deans pentru cursurile de scriere academică și activism, cu avantajul unei structuri pedagogice mai flexibile și a unei atenții sporite acordate criticii de media, inclusiv analizei monopolurilor informaționale și a retoricii politice.

Lucrarea, publicată în seria Language, Culture, and Teaching Series, integrează organic activitatea în grup. Prin grupurile de lectură între colegi, studenții învață să ofere și să primească feedback conceptual, dezvoltând o înțelegere profundă a procesului de revizuire. Tonul manualului este unul aplicat, răspunzând direct incertitudinilor studenților legate de dovezile contradictorii sau de subiectivitatea surselor.

Descriere scurtă

Community Writing: Researching Social Issues Through Composition employs a series of assignments that guide students to research and write about issues confronting their individual communities. Students start by identifying a community to which they belong and focusing on problems in it, and then analyze possible solutions, construct arguments for them, decide which are likely to succeed, and consider how to initiate action.

This is a primary text for first-year composition courses, covering the basics of the writing process. The assignments are recursive. Short writing assignments in each chapter build up to longer papers. Each of the assignment questions is accompanied by a guide to thinking about and writing the assigned paper, followed by a short Focus On reading that provides a brief account of community activism, a media case study, or a notable success story. The longer papers are accompanied by in-class peer reading groups. Each successive peer reading attempts a higher level of conceptual critique. By working together throughout the semester, students create increasingly adept peer groups familiar with all stages of each other's research. The book is carefully structured, but there is plenty of "give" in it, allowing instructors to be flexible in adapting it to the needs of their students and courses.

Community Writing:
* is distinguished by pedagogy based on a collaborative, process-oriented, service learning approach that emphasizes media critique and field research on community issues chosen by individual students;
* answers real student questions, such as: Where do I find articles on my topic? What if evidence contradicts my hypothesis? How do I know if a source is biased?;
* is web-savvy--guides students into building their own Web sites, including a unique guide for critiquing the design and veracity of other people's websites; and
* is media-savvy--topics include media monopolies, spin control, dumbing down, misleading statistics, the Freedom of Information Act, "crackpot" authors, political rhetoric, and fallacious argumentation.

Recenzii

"At last, a writing text that takes seriously the student's roles as citizen, thinker, author, researcher, and community member, and shows teachers how to situate a syllabus in the themes and communities of their students. Paul Collins has done a magnificent job in providing writing classes with a strong program for community literacy. This wonderfully useful and readable text offers in-depth writing projects based on student's critical inquiry into their social conditions. In these pages, a skilled writing teacher maps the way to academic skills through civic projects inviting students to examine and improve their communities. Bravo!"
—Ira Shor
The College of Staten Island
"Community Writing brings together social responsibility and composition instruction in a most timely and responsible manner. By encouraging each student to identify a community concern that is personally meaningful, Collins provides each individual with a rationale to investigate sources in an appropriately critical manner. Students will profit from the recursive steps that make them increasingly sensitive to the complexities of analyzing issues that relate directly to their own interests. This text will benefit instructors and students as they engage in a substantive dialogue on important issues."
—Marilyn S. Sternglass
Professor Emeritus of English, City College of the City University of New York
"Demonstrates a thorough knowledge of recent work in composition studies. This text is particularly impressive in its application of recent work in service learning and critical pedagogy to the first-year writing classroom....I never thought I would use a composition textbook again, but I would use Community Writing."
—Carl Whithaus
Stevens Institute of Technology
