Social issues in first-year college writing.
Abstract
Many educators believe that including social and political issues in first-year college writing is an effective strategy for helping students learn to read, research, and write critically. Others, however, argue that focusing on such controversial topics will distract students from the traditional goals of the course and sway them unwittingly toward the political ideologies of teachers or more articulate members of the class. The challenge, therefore, is to help students use reading and writing to shape their own informed ideologies through thoughtful analyses of multiple perspectives and careful attention to reading and writing processes.
