60: Secondary-School English Teachers Should Only Be Taught Literature, by Elizabethada A. Wright Bad Ideas about Writing

    • Education

Kyle Stedman (@kstedman) reads the bad idea "Secondary-School English Teachers Should Only Be Taught Literature" by Elizabethada A. Wright. It's a chapter first published in Bad Ideas about Writing, which was edited by Cheryl E. Ball (@s2ceball) and Drew M. Loewe (@drewloewe). Don't miss the joke: the author of the chapter is disagreeing with the bad idea stated in the chapter's title.

Keywords: secondary English education programs, rhetoric, AP Central, writing pedagogy, first-year writing

Professor at University of Minnesota Duluth, Elizabethada A. Wright teaches in the Department of English, Linguistics, and Writing Studies and is a member of the faculty at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities’ Literacy and Rhetorical Studies Program. She is co-editor and contributor to Catholic Women’s Rhetoric in the United States: Ethos, the Patriarchy, and Feminist Resistance. She has published in Rhetoric Society Quarterly, Rhetoric Review, College English Association Critic, Studies in the Literary Imagination, as well as in a number of other journals and books. (2022 bio)
