Just as a quick general note, I liked this reading a lot. I didn't find it difficult to understand like so many of the other reading we've done in the past. I could read it one time and understand it, which is what good writing should produce.
As far as the reading goes, I liked the section on expressionist pedagogy. On page 242 they talk about expressing ideas during the writing process. In my capstone class we do that quite often as we are working on our final thesis of undergraduate work and I completely understand where he is coming from. I have used ideas from others as they have read what I have completed so far and it has helped a lot. I understand not every approach works for every student but this is one I can completely support.
Hi Brady, good to touch base with you again as I missed your post last week. I am glad to read that you have applied some expressivist principles in your capstone class and as a believer of taking bits and pieces from each pedagogical approaches, i think your anecdote is really spot on.. i'd also like to add that the collaborative approach also worked in that respect.
