10-second review: “People write for many reasons: To share experiences, to help themselves understand what is happening, to record information and to communicate ideas. Few people write simply for the sake of learning to write better ‘next time.’ ”
Title: “Writing for the Here and Now: An Approach to Assessing Student Writing.” English Journal (January 1973), 69-79. The secondary school publication of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).
Comment: Now that I think of it, most of my writing assignments had the purpose of sharing experiences. That’s a pretty limited choice of purposes. RayS.
