Instructor interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Upper Divison English, clip 2 of 12

Abstract

Brief excerpt from interview: I always do [a place-based component] in my English 100 class, and I've always wanted to do an advanced course. Their projects are so much more sophisticated in different kinds of ways [at the graduate level], although the spirit of it, you can see the same thing in an English 100 paper and a graduate paper. The spirit of the passion for these places comes across in their writing and of course they're writing much more engaged because they're writing about places that they love. I wanted to look at cartography as narrative and try to see how the students were going to deal with visual representations in terms of narrative.
