Creative Writing and the Teaching of Composition
Although composition and creative writing constituted one inseparable subject in American college curricula in the nineteenth century, two distinct fields of study emerged in English departments throughout the twentieth century. A significant number of scholars in rhetoric and composition, though, see many connections and have worked to foster more, as evidenced in recent journal articles and conference presentations. Instructors who want to make writing the primary focus of the readings and assignments in their composition classes are faced with several key questions in their attempt to devote more time and attention to student papers: How can instructors make workshops and peer review matter to their students? How can workshops improve student writing in more meaningful ways? How can creative writing and composition better connect and influence the writing and reading of student texts?
