Comp Tales An Introduction to College Composition Through Its Stories

Comp Tales serves two aims--to collect good stories about teaching post-secondary composition, and to offer the kind of view and understanding of this profession that only oral anecdotes can provide. This text is a collection of the stories that college writing teachers tell and retell, stories that are actually told in the classroom, in the halls, over the tutor's table, in committee rooms, on street corners, over the kitchen table, etc. The book also contains reflections about the tales by the storytellers, and serious discussion about the role of story-telling in composition by the editors.Haswell, Richard H. is the author of 'Comp Tales An Introduction to College Composition Through Its Stories', published 1999 under ISBN 9780321050885 and ISBN 0321050886.
