The Write Direction: A New Teacher`s Practical Guide to Teaching Writing and Its Application to the Workplace

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Write Direction is an innovative book that guides teachers on how to teach writing, including the connection to the writing students will encounter once they leave school. The book examines the importance of teacher as writer, classroom environment, writing process, and six traits of writing and how teachers can implement these concepts. The Write Direction connects classroom writing instruction to the world students will face once they leave school and enter the workplace. The authors believe that students need to explore and practice writing assignments that better prepare them for the writing they will undertake once they leave school. Unfortunately, many teachers do not know what types of writing employers in the business world expect their employees to be able to produce. Therefore, every chapter provides specific activities for teachers to undertake as they work to improve their writing instruction. Suggestions for incorporating appropriate writing assignments that… [detailed...]

Brooke A. Wharton
The Writer Got Screwed (but didn`t have to): Guide to the Legal and Business Practices of Writing for the Entertainment Industry

1997 y.
Publisher: Collins
Description: You`ve got to love a lawyer who advises, `Don`t make your lawyers rich.` Entertainment lawyer Brooke A. Wharton provides an authoritative and, yes, entertaining primer for the beginning entertainment writer not just on the legal and business issues of writing for the industry, but also on how to get a career jump-started. The first section covers copyright, libel, and contracts, so that if you can`t `control the exploitation of your scripts and written work … at least [you`ll] know when you`re being screwed.` The following section delineates the murky differences between the roles of agent, lawyer, and manager. The gist of it is that you don`t need all three, but which ones you need depends on the type of person you are and the type of agents/lawyers/managers they are (industry insiders are not prone to job-title limitations). The next section has a series of interviews with writers, agents, and a producer, all of whom help to enlighten us about the various writing jobs the industry… [detailed...]

Walter Benjamin
The Writer of Modern Life: Essays on Charles Baudelaire

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Walter Benjamin`s essays on the great French lyric poet Charles Baudelaire revolutionized not just the way we think about Baudelaire, but our understanding of modernity and modernism as well. In these essays, Benjamin challenges the image of Baudelaire as late-Romantic dreamer, and evokes instead the modern poet caught in a life-or-death struggle with the forces of the urban commodity capitalism that had emerged in Paris around 1850. The Baudelaire who steps forth from these pages is the flA?neur who affixes images as he strolls through mercantile Paris, the ragpicker who collects urban detritus only to turn it into poetry, the modern hero willing to be marked by modern life in its contradictions and paradoxes. He is in every instance the modern artist forced to commodify his literary production: `Baudelaire knew how it stood with the poet: as a flA?neur he went to the market, to look it over, as he thought, but in reality to find a buyer.`… [detailed...]

The Writing Class

Publisher: —
Description: Clara Burns, creative writing instructor, conducts Friday afternoon classes at the Las Hermigas senior center. Her students, like most retirees, are short in the tooth, grinding their chompers to the gum lime, agonizing over wrinkles, sagging pecs, and bulging pots of cottage cheese-like flesh. Most oldsters, armed with Viagra and Metamucil, are in rumpus rooms watching reruns of `I Love Lucy,` sponsored by companies offering burial insurance and adult diapers. Nordic Track machines are used to hang clothes on that aren`t completely dry. Clara`s students are pecking away at future Stones for Ibarra. She inspires her writers with tales of a misspent youth, followed by stories of her misspent adulthood. Like a band of geriatric pilgrims from The Canterbury Tales, Clara`s writing students regale one another with stories of how it used to be. Their stories are the sort Flannery O`Connor might have written if she had been in the Border Patrol. The Writing Class creates a bridge -… [detailed...]

Offered the opportunity to teach creative writing at the University of Arkansas, she took up the challenge and ventured into unknown territory. In the process of teaching more than two hundred students since her first class in 2000, she has found inspiration in their lives and ambitions, and in the challenge of conveying to them the lessons she has learned from living and writing. `The Writing Life` brings together fifty essays and vignettes centered on the transforming magic of literature and the teaching and writing of it. A portion of the collection discusses the delicate balance between an artistic life and family commitments, especially the daily pressures and frequent compromises faced by a young mother.

The Writing on the Wall: Why We Must Embrace China as a Partner or Face It as an Enemy

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The prevailing view of China is that the country is an economic juggernaut sure to become the dominant power of the twenty-first century. In this provocative and stimulating book critically acclaimed author Will Hutton warns instead that China is running up against a set of daunting challenges from within its own political and economic system that could well derail its rise, leading to a massive shock to the global economy. The United States, he argues, must recognize that it has a vital stake in working to assure this doesn`t happen, for if China`s political liberalization and economic growth collapse, the United States will suffer crippling consequences. In today`s highly globalized world economy, so much of the economic health of the United States -- our low inflation, high profits, and cheap credit -- rests upon China`s economic growth and its massive investment in the United States. A great deal has been said about the economic and military threat China poses. But rather than… [detailed...]

The Writings of David Thompson: The Travels, 1850 Version

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: David Thompson`s `Travels` is one of the finest early expressions of the Canadian experience. The work is not only the account of a remarkable life in the fur trade but an extended meditation on the land and Native people of western North America. The tale spans the years 1784 to 1807 and extends from the Great Lakes to the Rockies, from Athabasca to Missouri. A distinguished literary work, the `Travels` alternates between the expository prose of the scientist and the vivid language of the storyteller, animated throughout by a restless spirit of inquiry and sense of wonder. In the first volume of an ambitious three-volume project that will finally bring all of Thompson`s writings together, editor William Moreau presents the `Travels` narrative as it existed in 1850, when the author was forced to abandon his work. Accompanying Moreau`s transcription is an introductory essay and a textual introduction, extensive critical annotations, historical and modern maps, and a biographical… [detailed...]
