Summary:

In Everyday Genres: Writing Assignments across the Disciplines, Mary Soliday calls on genre theory -- which proposes that writing cannot be separated from social situation -- to analyze the common assignments given to writing students in the college classroom, and to investigate how new writers and expert readers respond to a variety of types of coursework in different fields. This in-depth study of writing pedagogy looks at the many challenges facing both instructors and students in college composition classes, and offers a thorough and refreshing exploration of writing experience, ability, and rhetorical situation.

Packed with useful information and insight, Everyday Genres is an essential volume for both students and teachers seeking to expand their understanding of the nature of writing. Book jacket.
