Student interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Urban and Regional Planning, clip 13 of 15

Abstract

Brief excerpt from interview: Transitions--go from where you're talking about, find some way to fuse it, then just make the transition . . . When you have your outline, and you're actually typing it out, it comes out organically in ways that--your can't force a transition . . . I feel--sometimes things just feed into each other more naturally . . . that's why I have to switch things around sometimes, the transition works better with this here . . . as if it were a narrative, you're taking the reader on a journey in a way that feels very linear to them. So you might begin with community and then go to walkability, and everything naturally flows into one another.
