Instructional Note: The Get and Give of Topic Choice in the College Writing Classroom

Amber E. Wagnon

Abstract

Students entering first-year composition often discover self-inquiry for the first time, enabling them to examine their identities when opportunities are created to do so. The experiences of two traditional first-year college students are examined to better understand the power that writing instructors and writing courses hold.
