Writing and Response: Theory, Practice, and Research

Sommers, Jeffrey. (1989) The Writer's Memo: Collaboration, Response, and Development. In C. Anson (Ed.), Writing and Response: Theory, Practice, and Research (pp. 177-189). Urbana, IL: National Council of Teachers of English.

This chapter concentrates on showing how to solicit and encourage the student's authority on their own writing and refinement through the use of a "writer's memo." Sommers spends the majority of the time in this chapter discussing the effect of this method on the teacher as a collaborator and the student as a developing writer.
