Elements of Alternate Style: Essays on Writing and Revision
This was an interesting compilation of essays that modeled some of the ways that teachers could use alternative writing assignments to cultivate a process-based approach to writing amongst their students. I liked how many of the selections attempted to practice what the book preached by modeling the "alternative styles" they counseled. Likewise, I appreciated the specific assignments that the book offered as examples, and hope to use a few in my own teaching. That being said, I'd like a similar book that is more updated for the breadth of alternative styles online writing might bring to the classroom environment, especially for college composition instructors.
