Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following on from Writers at Work: The Paragraph and Writers at Work: the Short Composition, Writers at Work: The Essay will teach the basics of academic essay writing to intermediate-level students. In Writers at Work: The Essay, college and university students use the process approach to write different genres of essays common at the post-secondary level, the most important being expository writing, persuasive writing, and timed essay exams. Each chapter uses the same five-step approach to writing that is used in the two lower-level books. In each chapter, students analyze a model essay, noticing key organizational and linguistic features; brainstorm ideas; write multiple drafts; revise their work; engage in peer reviews; and share their finished work. Chapters recycle and build upon previously taught material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no single way to write a short story or a novel. If a book on writing is to be useful it should act as a companion, making clear and encouraging, without endangering the young writer's individuality. At the same time there is much which the individual writer shares with his fellow writers, and it is therefore to the common ground of fiction that this book is devoted. -- From foreword.

Download or read book Beat Writers at Work written by Paris Review and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 1999-02-16 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the pages of The Paris Review, a collection of interviews with Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Ken Kesey, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and more Edited by Paris Review co-founder George Plimpton, and with an introduction by Rick Moody, this anthology of “Writers at Work” interviews featuring the great figures of the Beat and Black Mountain movements is an in-depth look into one of the most famous literary tribes of the century. The Beats, with their mix of talent, bravado, and insight into the social and political climes of their time, continue to influence students, writers, and critics today. “Mr. Plimpton and his able cohorts at The Paris Review have cannily chosen this historical moment for the retrieval of this archive, viz., the fortieth anniversary of Kerouac’s masterpiece, and also the recent departures of Ginsberg and Burroughs to celestial addresses, and thus we have a real warts-and-all retrospective, ex post facto, Kerouac in the late sixties, Ginsberg (in one of two pieces here) in the late seventies, Bowles in the eighties, Snyder in the nineties, so that the high period of Beat style is well past at the time of these conversations; Plimpton’s wisdom here amounts to permitting the language and form of these interviews to persist over the years and thereby accrue historical context, in which we are enabled to see how the Beat praxis (or Black Mountain praxis) is reactive when faced with such forces as Vietnam, hippie culture, eighties consumerism, neglect by literary history, and so forth.”—from the introduction by Rick Moody
Download or read book Young Writers at Transition written by Daniel Tabor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-04-22 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does children's writing develop in the transition from primary to secondary school? Young Writers at Transition tracks a group of pupils from the end of Year 6 into the first half of Year 7. It analyses in detail the teaching and uses of writing at this important stage in their education, and uncovers some revealing findings concerning the experiences, perceptions and expectations of pupils, teachers and parents about writing. The authors link their findings to the broader issues of policy and our understanding about how writing is taught and used in transition. This timely book examines issues such as: * transition, continuity and progression, and how these can be managed to ensure standards do not suffer * the variety of teaching and uses of writing in Years 6 and 7 * secondary school teachers' views of writing, and what practice is most effective for them * different ways of thinking about transition, continuity and progression * how the National Literacy Strategy has affected continuity and progression in children's writing at transition. This interesting study of the uses of writing will be a valuable resource, with practical suggestions, to teachers and educators in primary and secondary schools.

Download or read book Women Writers at Work written by George Plimpton and published by Harvill Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of interviews taken from The Paris Review, sixteen of the world's great women writers speak about their work, their colleagues and their lives. Women Writers at Work revisits classic interviews with Rebecca West and Simone de Beauvoir along with exchanges with Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou and Nadine Gordimer, showing how different generations have found their voices. They talk about where they write.They talk about how they write. Most importantly they discuss why and what they write. As Margaret Atwood points out in her bracing introduction, the 'Women Writers' here cannot be put into a box, neatly labelled WW. The label should probably read WWAAW, 'Writers Who Are Also Women.' What unites them is less their gender than their commitment to the craft of writing and to life. Each interview is accompanied by a biographical and critical profile, a photograph of the writer and a facsimile manuscript page.
