The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same: A Survey of High School Students’ Writing Experiences

Lisa Scherff University of Tennessee at Knoxville ; Carolyn Piazza

Abstract

In this article, we present secondary students’ perceptions of their writing and writing instruction. Using the NCTE/IRA Standards as the foundation for a survey, we questioned nearly 2,000 public-school students concerning what they wrote, how they wrote, and the extent to which they wrote in their language arts classes.
