I really enjoyed the Post-Process pedagogy article. What I am taking away from it to incorporate into my classroom in particular is the idea of writing being public, and that there is not just one process that can be taught to writers.

For the public nature, I intend to do frequent group work and peer reviews of the classroom writings produced. I want each major assignment to be read by the class, either a small group of peers, or discussed in front of the class in a sort of workshop style. Next year, in TOPIC, I think I will ask my students to bring their .3 and 1.1 assignments into class and provide commentary on their classmate's work. How this will work exactly does depend on the assignments.

As far as processes go, I want to introduce multiple types of process into my classroom. For example, I want to show the students the traditional outline process and web processes. I want to do some more reading about the various kinds of processes before the start of the semester so I will have more concrete ideas of how I can bring this in.

Overall, for me, I think the post-process pedagogy article has been one of, if not the, most influental article we've read all semester.

Final Thesis

For my final project, I am, along with three students in Dr. Rickly's class, creating a video. We plan to contrast the views of the different disciplines within English studies (Technical Communications, Linguistics, Literature, and Creative Writing) with those of the students, to create a more whole understanding of how people here feel about Composition. We are focusing on the whole of the discipline, and working on the, thus far correct, assumption that even the professors who only teach graduate level classes now once taught college composition. We aim to see what they got out of that experience, and what they hope students got out of it, along with what they hope their current students got out of the composition classes they took their freshman years. From the students, we want to see what skills they hope to gain from their freshman composition programs. Overall, we hope that the answers will reveal insights about each of the disciplines of English and about the students as well. We think that the answers will be similar across the different divisions but different enough to be interesting.
