The Self as Writer: Assumptions and Identities in the Writing Workshop.
Graham, Robert J.
Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, v43 n4 p358-64 Dec-Jan 1999-2000
Describes a writing workshop for preservice teachers that demystifies writing and looks at students' (all future teachers) assumptions about what a writer is and what writing is. Notes how this helps students understand and visualize a new set of roles and possibilities for themselves as writers, about who can be a writer, and about what purposes writing can have. (SR)
