Williams 98-130

I truly enjoyed this chapter, not only because it is a little bit shorter than its predecessors, but because it really contains methods of writing that I may utilize in my future classroom. Williams brings in many great examples of different methods in a classroom, and I feel that the differences can be very helpful for the different students I may encounter someday. A main method I enjoy and hope to utilize in the future would be the Process Approach. This is ideal because it can be customized to fit each class' needs: "Instruction in the process-oriented classroom is different. First, it is top-down, not bottom-up, which means that the focus is on producing entire papers, not on grammar or parts of papers. . . (WIlliams, 101)". Thestudents will not be learning small pieces at a time and building on top of that, over and over again (bottom up). This is a big change from how just about everyone is taught in school. It will be interesting to see the focus switch from linguistics and mechanics to simply enjoying writing and being able to do it.
