Envisioning
a first-year writing program that uses a CHAT framework to shape
work that includes both conventional academic texts and alternative,
multimodal texts (particularly including—but not limited to—access
to digital composition tools) requires, as a first step, an attempt
to create a compilation of values for the course that incorporates
the ideas I have gathered from the sources I've named here, the
information from our core text, and the example of Jason's experimental
classroom.
My
articulation of what I value in composition courses, and my
ability to tell this valuation effectively, will certainly be mediated by attempts to understand the needs of
administration, students, faculty, teaching assistants, and
other stakeholders, such as academic advisors, recruiters, and
members of the Kalamazoo community. |
