why teach writing

Keeping in mind the repeated question “why teach writing?” take a look back at readings we had this semester. Also remember answers we

give for why
we teach writing should lead to the answers we give to the question, “How should we teach
writing?” The later question will be the focus of the second half of our semester. For now, let’s
focus on the former. Now, I would like you to compose an essay 1200-1800(4-6pages) you will examine the question,“Why teach

writing?”through the
perspectives of the authors we have read so far (you’ll address this question from your own
perspective later in the semester). This essay should look a lot like a literature review in which
you compare and contrast, analyze, and theorize the way several authors deal with the subject
at hand. Although many of our assigned authors did not explicitly answer this question, your
task is to analyze their texts and o?er a reasonable view of how they might do so. You will, of
course, be expected to focus your discussion around a clear thesis, clearly summarize key points
from the readings, use e?ective and relevant textual support, and also follow all the MLA
formatting. Your exam will be evaluated on how well you have understood and discussed the
class readings in relation to the question that introduced this course and this exam prompt.
