Why do you think the concept of genre is so central in teaching writing
1. For some time now, genre has been an important focal point of scholarship in writing pedagogy. Why do you think the concept of genre is so central in teaching writing? Why should genre be a central focus in writing curricula, and how should one go about developing a curriculum with genre as a focus?
2. One really important question in writing studies is the extent to which classroom learning can translate to real-world skills. In what ways are classroom contexts and real-world contexts different in terms of purposes for writing or uses of technology? What roadblocks do you think learners face as they attempt to apply classroom learning to other contexts? In what way can knowledge of genre help overcome those roadblocks?
