Dramatized Experience, Civil Discourse, Sensitive Issues.

Romano, Tom

Voices from the Middle, v6 n4 p28-31 May 1999

Describes the author's experience when the director and teacher-trainers of a writing program persuaded him that the oral interpretation he wished them to perform was too troubling and explosive to use. Outlines his questions and anguish about the incident, and the urgency of dealing with the dilemmas of multiculturalism, racial intolerance, and the teaching of writing. (SR)
