Abstract

The author, a college Composition teacher, recognizes that we are living in an ever-changing world. Such change is reflected in colleges and universities around the world. No longer are our college campuses filled with predominantly English-speaking students. Our classrooms have become linguistically and culturally diverse. How do we accommodate this diversity, especially in our Freshman Composition classroom? With students ever-changing, how do we find a Composition text that can keep up with the ever-changing student. In this chapter, the author shares her story of how she changed what she did in her Composition classroom. She shares her student-centered-book-writing pedagogy, in which the students' texts as produced in her classroom over the course of the semester become ‘the text' for her Composition class. The author posits by using the students' texts as ‘the text' for the course, the material is always relevant, never stale or outdated, and is inclusive.
