Attitude (Coming to Terms).
Musgrove, Laurence E.
English Journal, v87 n4 p85-86 Apr 1998
Examines the origin of the term "attitude," and how its meaning has changed over the centuries. Discusses theoretical definitions of the term by I. A. Richards and by Kenneth Burke. Discusses its role in the learning process, and how an explicit attention to attitude in the language-arts classroom might help students become better readers and writers. (SR)
