Monday's reading assignment is James Berlin's history of writing instruction in American colleges. For your blog response, please summarize the (1) economic, political and social changes, and (2) changes in curriculum and teaching methods for one of the following time periods discussed in Berlin's article:
1880-1900
1900-1917
1917-1945
1945-1960
1960-1975
1975-1985
Next Wednesday, you will work with a group to compose a timeline that connects each of these time periods. We'll attempt to answer the question: What continuities and contradictions have shaped the teaching of writing since the late nineteenth century?
