A special session
Presiding: Peter Elbow, Univ. of Massachusetts, Amherst
For two chapters from Elbow's recent book, write to elbow@english.umass.edu.
Session Description:
Reading aloud to revise is a celebrated practice, but it is too little taught as a concrete skill and too little analyzed from a linguistic point of view. In this workshop, participants will explore this valuable teaching technique. We will work on sample passages by reading them aloud with attention to rhythm and sound and will analyze the linguistics of intonation to show why the tongue is a reliable guide to strong clear prose.
Subject:
-
The Teaching of Language and Literature – General
