Passion as Part of the Community College Writing Class
Shafer, Gregory
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v45 n11 p816-821 2021
As writing teachers at the community college level, we have a unique opportunity to teach writing that is infused with passion, but we must begin by first reconnecting with those writers who we read and admired as students and recall why we became community college composition teachers in the first place. We must remember that we write to make sense of our world--not to raise test scores or fulfill an administrative objective. In the end, all good writing pedagogy is centered on writing for the self--on writing for passion.
