Writing Spaces

Driscoll

Description

Volumes in Writing Spaces: Readings on Writing offer multiple perspectives on a wide range of topics about writing. In each chapter, authors present their unique views, insights, and strategies for writing by addressing the undergraduate reader directly. Drawing on their own experiences, these teachers-as-writers invite students to join in the larger conversation about the craft of writing. Consequently, each essay functions as a standalone text that can easily complement other selected readings in first year writing or writing-intensive courses across the disciplines at any level.
Volume 3 continues the tradition of previous volumes with topics such as voice and style in writing, rhetorical appeals, discourse communities, multimodal composing, visual rhetoric, credibility, exigency, working with personal experience in academic writing, globalized writing and rhetoric, constructing scholarly ethos, imitation and style, and rhetorical punctuation.

11 Punctuation’s Rhetorical
Effects
Kevin Cassell
Overview
Many students tend to think of punctuation as governed by a set of rules.
This chapter encourages them to conceive of punctuation as a system of
conventions, which includes standard expectations of correct
usage—certain “rules”—but applies them within a broader rhetorical context. After
distinguishing between punctuation and grammar (the two terms are
often associated), students are provided with three reading strategies to help
them become aware of how punctuation operates in printed texts. The
first strategy, explicit reading, adopts Writing Spaces author Mike Bunn’s
Reading Like a Writer (RLW) approach, but emphasizes a reading style
that is sensory. The second strategy, visual reading, asks students to adopt
a “typographical perspective” when reading so that they literally see how
punctuation operates. The third one, aural reading, asks them to listen –
possibly by reading aloud – to how punctuation conveys an author’s tone
of voice, which can help to illustrate context. Palpably experiencing
punctuation usage while reading will help students use it with confidence and
facility in their own writing.
This chapter accommodates readers with hearing or visual impairments
so they may participate in this sensory reading.

first-year writing class at the University of Arizona.* Each one was I a sentence or two long and conveyed a different idea that related to
language use. I didn’t tell my students who wrote them. I just projected

them to read:
