1 the Process of Change in the Teaching and Learning of Writing The Process of Change in the Teaching and Learning of Writing about Literature in an 11th grade Honors English Language Arts Classroom Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brenton Goff M. Ed, B.A. Graduate Program in Education: Teaching and Learning The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee George Newell, Advisor David Bloome Alan Hirvela 1 Copyrighted by Brenton Goff 2018 2 Abstract Although most of the writing in high school English Language Arts (ELA) classrooms is about literature and although there have been incessant calls for changing the practices of teaching and learning literature, only meager amounts of research have been conducted in these interrelated domains of the field. Accordingly, this dissertation seeks to address these issues by examining the process of a teacher transitioning her teaching practice to literary argumentation. The ethnographic and discourse analytic case study reported here was part of an eight-year, Institute of Education Sciences (IES) funded research project on teaching and learning argumentative writing in high school ELA classrooms. As part of the larger project, this dissertation study was embedded in a yearlong study of teaching and learning of literary argumentation in an Honor American Literature course at “Davis High School”. The teacher was a white female in her seventh- year teaching ELA while the students were in both tenth and eleventh grade and were comprised of 18 students, ten females and eight males. Of the 18 students, 16 students identified as white while two identified as Asian-American. Using microethnographic methods, I examined the contextual factors shaping a teacher’s changing approach to literary argumentation, how she and her 10th and 11th grade students’ instructional conversations fostered a shared understanding for literary argumentation; and finally to consider how the context and argumentative writing practices shaped student learning, I iii traced a case study student’s essay for sources and processes related to the curricular context. This study of changing approaches to the teaching of writing about literature is framed by theories of teacher change and a microethnographic approach to discourse analysis. Findings demonstrated that the teacher attempted to change her literature instruction by introducing literary argumentative practices into her teaching through writing assignments as she worked to cultivate a shared reading to frame her curriculum and to inform and shape her students’ writing about The Great Gatsby (Fitzgerald, 1925). Findings also indicated that instructional conversations were inconsistent with how and when they contributed to the literacy practices the teacher attempted to bring about as they were influenced by both the teacher’s and students’ previous experiences interpreting literature. The contextualized analysis of student writing revealed that the student negotiated the literary argumentation practices the teacher attempted to bring about through her use of the curricular context. Change for the teacher was a complex process, including relatively easy efforts to develop writing prompts and assignments to foster learning while struggling to modify her uses of instructional conversations to shift to more dialogic practices requiring student ideas. This study contributes to the knowledge base for the teaching and learning of literary argumentation as an understanding of the complexity of teacher change within the legacy of a teacher’s own experiences and within the institutional demands of teaching canonical interpretations of literature. iv Acknowledgments When I first decided to go back to graduate school to study I had no idea what impact that choice would have on myself and my family. While I may have my name on this dissertation I must state unequivocally that this would not have been possible without the support of so many. To start I would like to thank the class that hosted me for this study; by allowing me into your classroom and sharing with me I was able to learn so much. Ms. Smith, your courage to try something new and collaborate with me made this work possible, and for that I am truly grateful. My advisor, George Newell, allowed me the flexibility and space to grow as a student and scholar. His insight, collegial spirit, and fatherly advice has helped keep me grounded and focused throughout my time as a doctoral student and candidate. I would like to also thank the rest of my committee, Dr. David Bloome and Dr. Alan Hirvela; I cannot tell you how much you have taught me about what it means to be a scholar by listening to your discussions during Argumentative Writing Project meetings. How I judge myself as a researcher is rooted in these conversations over the past five years. The doctoral students and members of the Argumentative Writing Project have given me outlets to be both a scholar and a friend, and I look forward to seeing you at conferences as we continue onward into our careers. v My first teaching job at the Dayton Early College Academy planted the seeds of what I have become today. What I learned as a teacher there shaped what I think great education can be. Dr. Judy Hennessey, I can earnestly say that, without your support, I would not be where I am today. Thank you for seeing in me what I might not have seen in myself at the time. The friendships I made at DECA helped me envision the future that I am currently benefiting from, and for that I am grateful. Last and most importantly, my family, I would not be where I am today without your support. My in-laws, Jim and Lisa, and my parents, Karen and Mark, thank you for continuing to be supportive of our growing family and believing in me. Karen and Lisa, this would not have been possible if you two had not watched the girls. Norah, Lucy, and Beckett, being your father is one of the best gifts I could have been given. Melanie, we started this journey without any kids and we now have three. Thank you for giving me time to write and going on this journey with me. I wouldn’t want to take it with anyone else. vi Vita 2007…………………………. B. A. English Education, The Ohio State University 2009…………………………. M. Ed.

This thesis uses empirical research from a class at Warren Correctional Institute in Lebanon, Ohio, and selected observations of current composition theorists to confirm Ong’s assertion that audience is essential to the student writer’s ability to move from a reliance on speaking to a mastery of writing. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I certainly want to thank Dr. Betty Youngkin for her kindness, insight, and inspiration which she provided not only for my thesis, but for much of my graduate work as well. I would also like to thank Dr. Lawrence Ruff for his contributions to my thesis and to Dr. Stephen Wilhoit, who provided much needed guidance through my graduate career. I would also like to thank my family for early guidance and support, and Father Walter Ong, who provided the groundwork for future exploration into orality.

This expansion creates a new relationship with the author, opening the horizon of the authorial imagination beyond the discourse community from which the author and the text originate. The relational gap between the author and this new audience manifests as the Other Reader, an anxiety formation that the author reacts to and attempts to preempt. This dissertation tracks these reactions via several authorial strategies that address the alienation of the Other Reader, including the use of prefaces, footnotes, margin notes, asterisks, and poioumena.

  • The Effect of Process Writing Activities on the Writing Skills of Prospective Turkish Teachers
    Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, Issue 52, Summer 2013, 189-210 The Effect of Process Writing Activities on The Writing Skills of Prospective Turkish Teachers Şükran DİLİDÜZGÜN* Suggested Citation: Dilidüzgün, Ş. (2013). The effect of process writing activities on the writing skills of prospective Turkish teachers. Egitim Arastirmalari -Eurasion Journal of Educational Research,52, 189-210. Abstract Problem statement: Writing an essay is a most difficult creative work and consequently requires detailed instruction. There are in fact two types of instruction that contribute to the development of writing skills: Reading activities analysing texts in content and schematic structure to find out how they are composed and process writing activities. The reading activities in Turkish textbooks are thought to be insufficient in this aspect, and although process writing is adopted, it is not put into practise with such activities as writing on the text read or a proverb giving students a list of writing rules. Purpose of Study: This study aims to determine the effect of process writing activities on the writing skills of prospective Turkish teachers as well as to equip them with the writing strategies to apply when teaching writing and to propose several activities in this context. Methods: One-group pretest-posttest experimental design was used. Thirty-four first-year students at Istanbul University Education Faculty Turkish Department taken as sample wrote essays as pretest on a topic of their choosing from a presented list. They were then asked to write essays on the same topic as posttest after a 24-lesson process writing instruction. The pretests and posttests were evaluated by three experts using the “Writing Assessment Rubric” developed from the criteria for assessing written texts in the field and the activities done in the class as a base.
