Lifewriting : Learning Through Personal Narrative

We do it all the time: telling the stories of our lives is fundamental to communicating with others.

In Lifewriting, Sydney Butler and Roy Bentley explain how teachers can take advantage of this natural process to enrich classroom writing programs.

Special chapters explain how life writing can be used with ESL students and adults, as well as how computers can enhance this unique approach to motivating students to think of themselves -- indeed, to see themselves -- as real writers.
