IN01 LUNS 64526 FM00 i xiv.qxd:LUNSFORD 01 (035-112).qxd12/21/105:44 PMPrefaceThese Instructor’s Notes grew out of the extensive marginal notes originally created for The St. Mar tin’s Handbook by Cheryl Glenn, RogerGraves, R. Gerald Nelms, Dennis Quon, and Andrea Lunsford. In subsequent editions, the Notes were revised and expanded by other importantcontributors, including Alyssa O’Brien, Melissa Goldthwaite, JenniferCognard-Black, Jeff Loew, Marvin Diogenes, and Christine Alfano. TheSeventh Edition of the Instructor’s Notes builds on this pedagogical foundation and works to improve and extend the usefulness of the Notes forteachers of writing today.The present book signifies a revision, corresponding to the revampedSeventh Edition of the Handbook: not only have we updated resources,added a number of practical strategies, and responded to current trendsin the field of teaching writing, but we have also increased the coverageof collaborative work. We have added new content on expectations for college writing and on thinking critically about arguments in diverse media.The Instructor’s Notes have also been informed by new research into thetop twenty errors that first-year students make in their writing.In order to explore these aspects of writing and teaching, we havetested the materials for the new edition in the crucible of our classrooms,thereby making the necessary, if not always successful, connectionbetween theory and practice. In this way, the current edition continues atradition developed with each incarnation of this project. Once again wefound ourselves collaborating in the same ways we ask our students to do,and like our students, we struggled with the concept of audience, attempting to address both beginning and experienced instructors of composition. Ultimately, creating the revised Instructor’s Notes offered us a richopportunity to practice what we so often preach and to provide a set ofnotes for use by teachers in the writing classroom.In approaching the question of audience for this edition, our f irstthought was again of everyday classroom needs — teaching suggestions,additional collaborative activities for student writers, working with technology in the classroom, and so on. As we began our work, however, wevPage v

IN01 LUNS 64526 FM00 i xiv.qxd:LUNSFORD 01 (035-112).qxdvi12/21/105:44 PMPrefacecame upon materials and ideas for teaching that expanded our originalhorizons, providing not only the what to teach but, more important, thehow and the why.Our experience mirrors the history of composition scholarship. In thepast thirty years, the what has changed from a product-oriented approachto a process approach, and now this in turn has become what some referto as a “post-process” approach. Our teaching today focuses on the material conditions for student writing (and our teaching of it); on the socialnature of writing and reading; on an enriched sense of rhetorical situations and the key writing occasions they entail; on changes in the nature,status, and scope of writing; on recently emerging genres of writing; andon the impact of technologies and social media on writing.Accompanying this shift in what we focus on have been increasinglysophisticated pedagogy and research — the how — and greater justification — the why. In our experience, the what cannot be separated from thehow and the why. This book, therefore, contains various materials thatrespond not only to everyday classroom needs but also to broad pedagogical concerns. In this revision, we have kept the best of the earlier notes,linking each heading to the language of the Handbook rubrics for greaterease in cross-referencing. We have kept our dedication to reaching alllearners through the notes on “Attending to Disabilities,” and we have suggested ways to enrich pedagogy through digital means with our advice in“Teaching with Technology” notes. More specifically, this edition includes: Background notes, prefaced with “On,” present useful historical, theoretical, and contextual information. For Teaching notes offer practical classroom strategies, exercises, andactivities. For Collaboration notes, expanded in this edition, provide suggestionsfor group work and exercises that students can do in peer-review pairsand small groups. For Multilingual Writers notes offer suggestions for teaching writerswhose home language is not English. Teaching with Technology notes offer classroom-tested strategies forusing new technologies effectively to teach writing. Attending to Disabilities notes provide theoretically informed andclassroom-tested advice on how to teach all our students as well as concrete strategies for transforming classroom culture to rethink the waysin which we conceptualize the writers in our communities.Page vi

Quotes about Writing suggest a starting point for class discussion;they can also illuminate the subject at hand or simply entertain.We’re also pleased to offer Michael Hennessy’s comprehensive guide,“Using The St. Martin’s Handbook with Sample Syllabi.” In this openingsection of the Instructor’s Notes, Mike offers wonderfully clear and cogentsuggestions for teaching students how to use a handbook, for using a handbook as a classroom tool, and for developing your course through his sample syllabi by pairing The St. Martin’s Handbook with a thematic reader, aliterature anthology, or an argument/rhetoric.Our collaboration on this most recent revision includes a number offriends and colleagues to whom we are indebted. At Bedford/St. Martin’s,we wish to thank our development editors, Carolyn Lengel and CeciliaSeiter, as well as our managing editor, Shuli Traub; our project editor, RyanSullivan; our production supervisor, Samuel Jones; and our editorial assistant, Nicholas McCarthy.Perhaps most importantly, however, we would like to thank all theinstructors to whom this book is addressed. Everything in this book iswritten for you — but in fact much, perhaps most, of it has been inspiredby you.Andrea A. LunsfordAlyssa J. O’BrienPage viivii

IN02 LUNS 64526 INTR 001 034.qxd:LUNSFORD 01 (035-112).qxd12/20/103:53 PMUsing The St.Martin’s Handbookwith Sample SyllabiBYMICHAEL HENNESSY, Texas State UniversitySome books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, andsome few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books areto be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously;and some few to be read wholly and with diligence andattention.– FRANCIS BACON, “Of Studies”A comprehensive handbook for college writers — and The St. Martin’sHandbook is a classic example of the genre — slips somewhat uneasilybetween Bacon’s categories. Most of us would agree that such a book isprimarily “to be tasted,” to be read “in parts,” rather than “swallowed” or“chewed and digested.” Handbooks are essentially reference works, bookswe more often “consult” than read in long stretches. But this statementbelies the fact that many of us own an old handbook, perhaps from ourcollege days or earlier, that looks very much “chewed and digested” fromrepeated use. Over the years, we may have read the book “wholly and withdiligence and attention”: we know it inside out. And while we may ask ourstudents to read parts of their handbooks “not curiously” — that is, quicklyrather than carefully — there are other parts we want them to read andread again with great “diligence and attention.”This discussion suggests, perhaps, that a contemporary writinghandbook is actually several books in one — a text we use in different waysat different times, a book whose function varies from teacher to teacher,course to course, and student to student. Any book in a composition class, ofcourse, can vary in function depending on the pedagogical preferences of theinstructor or the focus of the class. But handbooks are especially adaptablebecause of their encyclopedic qualities: they bring together large amounts ofmaterial, ranging — in the case of The St. Martin’s Handbook — frominformation about the recursive nature of the writing process and thequalities of memorable prose to minutiae about the placement of footnotenumbers. Handbooks include an ambitious and — for some students —baff ling array of grammatical rules, sample papers, charts, lists, checklists,1Page 1

IN02 LUNS 64526 INTR 001 034.qxd:LUNSFORD 01 (035-112).qxd212/20/103:53 PMUsing The St. Martin’s Handbookstyle sheets, glossaries, and exercises — a compendium of information notdesigned for start-to-finish reading.Because handbooks are by nature highly adaptable, instr uctorsemploy them in myriad ways. Some use a handbook as the backbone of acomposition course, taking students systematically through large partsof the text; the work of the term is tied closely to the str ucture of thebook itself. With The St. Martin’s Handbook, for example, an instructormight begin at the beginning, moving from the larger elements of invention and arrangement toward smaller matters of style and convention.Another instr uctor, working from a different set of assumptions, mightstar t with detailed in-class coverage of Chapters 29–33 on sentencegrammar. At the other end of the spectrum are instructors whose classroom use of the Handbook may consist of little more than holding thebook up for students to see on the first day of the term. Such instructorsmay assign students to read some sections, perhaps the advice in Chapters 1–6 about the writing process. Beyond that, students are on theirown with the book, using it as a reference tool, a guide for revising andediting their work. Between these extremes, of course, are many otherpoints of balance.In the next few pages — from my perspective as a composition director, supervisor of graduate assistants, and writing teacher — I offer a number of suggestions for using The St. Mar tin’s Handbook in a f irst-yearcomposition course. I regularly conduct my classes as writing workshopsin which students review one another’s drafts and revise their work undermy supervision. The Handbook is therefore mainly a reference tool thatstudents use on their own. I do make assignments from the book, but Irarely have time to “teach” them in class. And so, rather than attemptingto offer a broad survey of the various ways the book might be used, Ifocus here on a few specific ways that instructors can help their studentsmake the best use of the book as a writing guide and reference tool. Myadvice is aimed chief ly at new teachers of composition and at experienced teachers using the Handbook for the first time.Over the years, I have f ielded dozens of questions about handbookuse. “How should I use the Handbook in class?” “How can I integrate theHandbook with selections from the reader?” “Is there a way I can use theHandbook during writing workshops and peer-editing sessions?” “Howcan I encourage students to use the Handbook as they revise their ownpapers outside of class?” “Should I use the symbols at the back of thebook when I grade papers?” “How can I get students to read the sectionsthat I advise them to read when I comment on their drafts?” I have triedto keep these and other questions about the Handbook in mind in offering the advice that follows.Page 2

Neglecting to do so canleave students frustrated in their efforts to understand the book’s adviceand to master its reference system. The Handbook is a rich source of information and a powerful tool, but like any tool, its effectiveness depends onthe skill of the person using it. A computer is worthless unless you knowhow to operate it. So, too, a writing handbook.I am reminded of a junior transfer student who visited my off ice todiscuss a paper she had written during her f irst term on campus. Thepaper had earned a low grade partly because of numerous surface errors.I asked the student if she owned a handbook in which she might reviewthe problems identified in her paper. Her response was, “Yes, I still havethe one I used in my freshman year, bu
