What extent could student dispositions play a role in writing transfer

Questions

1. To what extent could student dispositions play a role in writing transfer? Look for literature on that issue both within and outside of writing studies and summarize what you find. As the week progresses, develop arguments about why dispositions may play a role and how one might foster productive dispositions within students in the classroom.

2. Why is genre knowledge such an important part of learning about writing? In what way do conceptual knowledge, practice, and metacognition play a role? Develop a cause-and-effect argument that incorporates these elements of teaching for transfer to show how they could lead to learning beyond the classroom.
