In Writing Genres, Amy J. Devitt examines genre from rhetorical, social, linguistic, professional, and historical perspectives and explores genre's educational uses, making this volume the most comprehensive view of genre theory today. Writing Genres does not limit itself to literary genres or to ideas of genres as formal conventions but additionally provides a theoretical definition of genre as rhetorical, dynamic, and flexible, which allows scholars to examine the role of genres in academic, professional, and social communities. Writing Genres demonstrates how genres function within their communities rhetorically and socially, how they develop out of their contexts historically, how genres relate to other types of norms and standards in language, and how genres nonetheless enable creativity. Devitt also advocates a critical genre pedagogy based on these ideas and provides a rationale for first-year writing classes grounded in teaching antecedent genres.

How do we make writing meaningful to students? A leading educator and a popular novelist present a refreshing exploration of how the challenges of professional writers can give students new insights into writing. The Write Genre presents a balanced approach to writing workshops in grades 3–9. It provides hands-on activities that focus on all stages of the writing process, with teacher-directed assignments and self-selected writing lessons that emphasize writing to learn. These unique lessons are designed to help students write with a concrete purpose and audience in mind and complete assignments that are more focused and authentic. Organized around six writing genres, more than fifty mini-lessons deal with specific skills that help students write effective fiction and nonfiction in such genres as: personal memoir— from techniques involving a personal memoir timeline and organizer to great ways to start, create powerful paragraphs, and cut the clutter; fictional narrative— from character, plot, and dialogue to point of view and conflict resolution; informational report— from strategies for reading nonfiction and K-W-L-S organizers to adding voice and style; opinion piece— from loaded words and other persuasive writing techniques to business letters and topical issues; procedural writing —from incorporating visuals and interviewing experts to techniques for writing imperative sentences; poetry – from teaching the "tools" and specific forms of poetry to creating a poetry anthology. For easy classroom implementation, the key elements of many mini-lessons are also presented in reproducible pages, including frameworks, organizers, prompts, checklists, and grids. The book offers chapters devoted to the writing process, writing workshop, and using rubrics for instruction and assessment. The concluding chapter pulls all the threads together with a multi-genre project that involves students in using the skills they have learned throughout the school year.

Twenty One Genres And How To Write Them written by Brock Dethier and has been published by University Press of Colorado this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2013-04-15 with Language Arts & Disciplines categories.

In this classroom-tested approach to writing, Brock Dethier teaches readers how to analyze and write twenty-one genres that students are likely to encounter in college and beyond. This practical, student-friendly, task-oriented text confidently guides writers through step-by-step processes, reducing the anxiety commonly associated with writing tasks. In the first section, Dethier efficiently presents each genre, providing models, a description of the genres’ purpose, context, and discourse; and suggestions for writing activities or “moves” that writers can use to get words on the page and accomplish their writing tasks. The second section explains these moves, over two hundred of them, in chapters ranging from “Solve Your Process Problems” and “Discover” to “Revise” and “Present.” Applicable to any writing task or genre, these moves help students overcome writing blocks and develop a piece of writing from the first glimmers of an idea to its presentation. This approach to managing the complexity and challenge of writing in college strives to be useful, flexible, eclectic, and brief—a valuable resource for students learning to negotiate unfamiliar writing situations.

Informative, insightful, and accessible, this book is designed to enhance the capacity of graduate and undergraduate students, as well as early career scholars, to write for academic purposes. Fang describes key genres of academic writing, common rhetorical moves associated with each genre, essential skills needed to write the genres, and linguistic resources and strategies that are functional and effective for performing these moves and skills. Fang’s functional linguistic approach to academic writing enables readers to do so much more than write grammatically well-formed sentences. It leverages writing as a process of designing meaning to position language choices as the central focus, illuminating how language is a creative resource for presenting information, developing argument, embedding perspectives, engaging audience, and structuring text across genres and disciplines. Covering reading responses, book reviews, literature reviews, argumentative essays, empirical research articles, grant proposals, and more, this text is an all-in-one resource for building a successful career in academic writing and scholarly publishing. Each chapter features crafts for effective communication, authentic writing examples, practical applications, and reflective questions. Fang complements these features with self-assessment tools for writers and tips for empowering writers. Assuming no technical knowledge, this text is ideal for both non-native and native English speakers, and suitable for courses in academic writing, rhetoric and composition, and language/literacy education.

Scenes Of Writing written by Mary Jo Reiff and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-06-16 with English language categories.

Scenes of Writing teaches students how to use genres to understand and write effectively for any situation, whether academic, workplace, or public. Based on current research in rhetorical genre theory that defines genres as rhetorical and social actions (the ways people make their way in the world, from thank you notes and horoscopes to editorials and progress reports to analysis papers and legal briefs), this textbook helps students gain and use knowledge of genres to make more critically informed and effective writing decisions within various scenes of writing. Learning such strategies provides students with transferable skills and knowledge to adapt their writing wherever and whenever they need to--in college and in the rest of their lives.To help students see and understand their possible choices, Scenes of Writing teaches stu¬dents strategies for observing and analyzing writing scenes, showing them how the genres produced in those scenes reflect various situa¬tions--their readers and writers, purposes, subjects, and settings. Understood in this way, genres are kinds of texts that help writ¬ers gain access to and participate in the scenes in which they are used.Structurally, Scenes of Writing moves from teaching students how to observe a writing scene and its situations (the readers, writers, purposes, subjects, and settings), to analyzing and critiquing the genres used to participate within the situations and scenes. Students examine the textual patterns of genres (content, appeals, structure, format, sentences, words) and what they reveal about the people who use the genres (their values and beliefs), the scenes in which the genres are used, and the activities that take place there. The book also focuses students' attention on the ways that they can critique existing genres and invites them to write differently, to design changed genres that meet different goals or reinforce different values and beliefs. Students apply this knowledge to the analysis and production of genres in academic, workplace, and public contexts. Teachers and students alike will appreciate that the book's approach cultivates transferable skills by helping students use genre knowledge to read and write their way into different situations inside and outside of a writing class. Students learn how to read contexts and then turn that reading of context into their writing in context, becoming more agile and astute writ¬ers who make informed writing choices as they negotiate among and participate in various scenes of writing. In the end,
