A Writing Assignment/A Way of Life.
Martin, Bill
English Journal, v92 n6 p52-56 Jul 2003
Explains a writing assignment called "occasional paper," a brief written reflection that is read aloud and discussed but not turned in. Notes that it is important that these papers be easy to write. Contends that since adolescents experience nearly everything as personal, the occasional paper offers them an entry into thinking that is abstract and intellectual. (PM)
