It views the teacher as a participant in the student's writing processes, not as an evaluator of the student's work ; Each chapter begins with a reading about writing that is intended to encourage student inquiry into the nature, history, and various uses of writing, and to promote a greater appreciation of its complexities. The reading is followed by activities related to the reading, and a reminder to keep a journal-Learning Record-of work related to the chapter. The Learning Record gives students a chance to review previous work, record their perceptions of the purpose and value of the work, and discuss successes, difficulties, and misunderstandings."
