Sonnet Writing and Experiential Learning.
Rustici, Craig M.
College Teaching, v45 n1 p16-18 Win 1997
Argues that assignments requiring the student to write in a specific genre stimulate formation and retention of critical concepts about the genre. A classroom experiment compared the results of a sonnet-writing assignment with a traditional essay-writing assignment about sonnets, confirming the effectiveness of the experiential approach. Illustrates with examples from student writing. (MSE)
