Synopsis
Whithaus (Old Dominion U., Virginia) explores new ways of teaching students how to write, and of evaluating their efforts, under the shadow of icon-dominated technology and punitive social policy. He advocates incorporating distributive, interactive, descriptive, and situated assessment techniques, which he says assimilate pedagogical strategies and evaluative techniques developed by teacher- researchers.
