Description: It seems obvious: students will have more meaningful writing experiences if we offer more opportunities for their writing to be meaningful for them. But what does that mean? What makes writing meaningful for students? What, really, makes students want to write? The authors of this practical little book asked precisely that, and the answers they gathered from students across disciplines, majors, and institutions over several years inform their advice in Making Writing Meaningful: A Guide for Higher Education.
Brief description: Michele Eodice is Professor Emeritus of Writing at the University of Oklahoma.
Review Quotes: "There are plenty of writing guides, but Teaching Meaningful Writing is informed by direct research on student attitudes and looks at students from across institution types. It centers student voices while providing an ethos and framework to help instructors create their own meaningful writing assignments."--Lee Skallerup Bessette, Assistant Director for Digital Learning, Center for New Designs for Learning and Scholarship, Georgetown University
