"Old Dogs, New Tricks": Intersections of the Personal, the Pedagogical, the Professional
Littman, Linda L.
English Journal, v93 n2 p61-66 Nov 2003
The author discusses the power of personal narratives to help writers not only improve their writing and understand themselves but also think more critically. Through poetry that grew from her impulse for narrative, the author reveals her growth as a teacher who was simultaneously learning about students' growth and change. (Contains 1 figure.)
