Acknowledging that many composition courses are taught by graduate students, In Our Own Voice offers a selection of articles about teaching first year writing by graduate students. The collection attempts to strike a balance between the theoretical and practical issues composition teachers face, and functions as a resource for pedagogical theories and practical ideas while at the same time problematizing traditional and currently held beliefs and definitions.
In every chapter, "Viewpoints" readings offer two or three diverse perspectives on controversial issues, and an "International Perspectives" essay provides a view on a contemporary issue from cultures outside the U.S.
A gallery of fifteen print advertisements―eight in full color―is accompanied by critical thinking and writing apparatus.
