FOR ENGLISH 596: INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF RESEARCH IN THE TEACHING OF WRITING

Most (if not all) of these sources on reserve in Lovejoy Library under “English 596.”

The Teaching of Writing MA Capstone Project is based on this English 596 Teaching of Writing Reading List. The List, which is revised periodically, designates twelve areas. (A student may add a thirteenth area if he/she has developed an adequate bibliography to support the area, and if the student’s MA committee approves the area.) Each student attempting the exam is required to choose three areas for emphasis. A student demonstrates mastery of the three chosen areas by writing three essays, each of which is twenty to thirty pages long and addresses one issue within each chosen area. The Reading List is intended as a starting point for each area offered: supplementing or substituting items on the list is acceptable with consultation from the student’s MA committee.

A .pdf version of this file is available on the forms page.
