Ray (language arts education, W. Carolina U.) explores ways in which writing teachers can use their own experiences with writing to develop explicit curriculum for use in their teaching. She also examines ways for writing teachers to move from their own experiences in reading different kinds of texts to generate curriculum showing students how to write those kinds of texts. Several appendices cite written works that writing teachers can use to show students different writing possibilities and mechanisms. For experienced writing teachers and teacher-trainees.
