Internal data leaking through fingertips


Lindemann. The title of her book is a bit off-putting, but it satisfies the Why and How thus far in its assumed aim. I read chapters 1-3, and 7. I found myself nodding along with her sentiments as to Why we as teachers must teach “good writing”, and felt like she must have taken a History of Rhetoric class. Jakobson’s diagram is ominously akin to Burke’s Pentad, but I feel it does more for students than the “writer’s triangle” (*cough* rhetorical triangle). These chapters, along with the Anson reading all continue to push the notion of writing as a process. I agree with the idea, and am hopeful I will find many new and useful avenues in teaching them to my students.
