The Virgule Variations: Learning/Language/Literature.

Root, Robert L., Jr.

English Journal, v80 n6 p18-27 Oct 1991

Explores the interrelationship of learning, language and literature. Suggests assignments that allow students to respond like readers rather than like apprentice critics. Asserts that writing is not merely recording, and reading is not merely decoding. States that confusions about meaning and syntax disappear when writers read their own work aloud. (PRA)
