Abstract:
Melinda Ruley, writer for the Independent, wanted to see how writing is being taught in the 1980s. She visited elementary and middle schools in Raleigh, and English courses at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After two weeks of observation, Melinda found that school children used their imaginations to form impressions and describe their world, whereas older adults used experience in writing.
