Everyday Genres: Writing Assignments Across the Disciplines

摘要

In Everyday Genres, a volume in the CCCC Studies in Writing and Rhetoric series, Mary Soliday uses genre theory to analyze writing assignments that she encountered as coordinator of the Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) program at the City College of New York (CCNY). She argues that genre theory provides an effective methodology for teaching writing across disciplines. Everyday Genres consists of only five chapters, supplemented by a lengthy and very useful set of appendices containing documents related to the specific writing assignments discussed in the book's second and third chapters.
