About this episode
I am writing a book about teaching writing. This book is based on the premise that human beings have an innate desire to communicate with other human beings. They naturally want the ideas to leak out of their head. Humans have an inherent inclination to express themselves and to share their ideas and experiences with other humans. Good writing instruction is built upon this natural inclination. Ineffective (bad) writing instruction stymies this natural impulse. And if students have been stymied for years, it may take a bit of work to un-stymie them. This podcast addresses the “un-stymie-i-zation” process.
