Writing Back and Forth: Class Letters.
Fulwiler, Toby
New Directions for Teaching and Learning, n69 p15-25 Spr 1997
Recommends that college teachers and their students exchange weekly letters, in either paper or electronic form, as a familiar and friendly means of communication. The method increases dialog, suggests rethinking, and encourages rewriting while keeping the stakes low. Students respond well to the assignment. Samples of student letters and comments are included.
