Pawley, Christine – Library Quarterly, 2009
Two theoretical models dominate discussion of research methods in the history of reading: "market" models such as Robert Darnton's communications circuit and "resistance" models such as those that draw on Michel de Certeau's concept of poaching. This article suggests that both make important contributions but also have limitations, especially when…

Newcomb, Matthew J. – College Composition and Communication, 2009
This article argues that the ideas of "play" and "abduction" in Charles Peirce's work represent an inventive theory of argument that opens up the kinds of activities that can be called "arguments" and avoids some of the struggles over imposed beliefs with which recent argument theory has grappled. (Contains 12 notes.)

Moynihan, Karen E. – English Journal, 2009
Students seem to believe that novels appear whole cloth; the writer just types away, channeling the muse in the attic. Poetry is pure inspiration--one has the gift or one does not. Students need to know that writing is hard work, and that the blank page stares down every good writer, even authors whose books have won critical acclaim and graced…

Handler, Daniel – School Library Journal, 2009
This article presents an interview with National Book Award-winner Judy Blundell.

Attitudes towards Online Feedback on Writing: Why Students Mistrust the Learning Potential of Models
Strobl, Carola – ReCALL, 2015
This exploratory study sheds new light on students' perceptions of online feedback types for a complex writing task, summary writing from spoken input in a foreign language (L2), and investigates how these correlate with their actual learning to write. Students tend to favour clear-cut, instructivist rather than constructivist feedback, and guided…
