Writing the Ties that Bind: Service-Learning in the Writing Classroom.
Cooper, David D.; Julier, Laura
Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning, v2 p72-85 Fall 1995
The Service Learning Writing Project at Michigan State University links service-learning and writing instruction. Students read and discuss American literary and historical texts, write academic analyses of ideas, and practice peer editing and revision in small workshops, while working in service placements in community and nonprofit organizations. A course on civic commitment in America illustrates the course design. (MSE)
