Abstract

I've been pushing my students to develop their personal essays in more social ways -- trying out parts of their drafts with their friends and family members, and then doing the same but in broader circles among strangers. This has had mixed success: it isn't easy to take incomplete, in-development kinds of writing and put this in front of others who will not always understand the intent or purpose of our writing. It has been a risk, and not always an easy one.
