Although several anthologies have collected articles on issues confronting composition studies, no other text looks at student writing as does Teaching/Writing in the Late Age of Print. No other volume has asked compositionists to use student writing to reflect on their teaching practices. No other volume has provided the rich breadth of response that reflects the current state of composition in the United States. And, no other volume has defined its primary task as portraying the diversity of the field through teaching practices as represented in student writing. Most important of all, no other volume has provided all course materials and supplemental documentation online as an integral part of such a project. There is a keyword refrence table that allows readers to read chapters based on key terms in the field like ""collaboration."" Each chapter begins with an abstract for easy reference. The companion website for this book includes a searchable database of all the chapter abstracts, assignments, excerpts from all contributions, extended course materials that help contextualize the printed chapters, and an online forum for teachers and researchers to meet and discuss their research interests.
