Drawing on searches of 17 years of journal articles, the piece distinguishes tools used explicitly or implicitly, noting origins in fiction writers, poets, and creative nonfiction authors. It argues for greater student independence: writers should harvest and adapt rhetorical tools beyond techniques, using them for more conscious analytical and artistic creation and criticism.","Current Issue  From the Editors  Weblog  Editorial Board  Editorial Policy  Submissions Archives  Accessibility  Search  \nComposition Forum 40, Fall 2018  \nThe Use of Artistic Tools in Composition Pedagogy  \nKyle Winkler  \nAbstract: Despite claims that Creative Writing and Composition don’t speak to one another, this article finds that composition does borrow fictional craft elements and artistic tools. Moreover, these devices and tools show up in composition pedagogy in two ways: explicitly or implicitly. Many of the tools found come from fiction writers and poets, while some are from creative non-fiction writers. The article searches through 17 years of journal articles to show how artistic tools are discussed, used, and how teachers adopt or theorize them for writing students. What the essay proposes is a greater independence of the student writer as a harvester and user of rhetorical tools and to have students go past mere techniques into a more conscious use of the tools available to them outside of what the teachers offer, since there could be, and surely are, more options for analytical and artistic creation and criticism.  \n“a collapse of vision, accordingly, the rise of craft”  \n—Carl Phillips,“Entry”  \nI.  \nReading among the different journals in our discipline (many of which are cited in this essay), one could intuit that a sort of cold war has ensued in English studies, slowing the exchange of ideas between creative writing and composition, despite encouragement for such exchanges. Douglas Hesse seems to believe in this divide, claiming that differences in research methods between the two fields are responsible for professional disagreeableness (33) . Patrick Bizzaro also points to differences of research between composition, creative writing, and literary studies, adding that creative writing needs to teach how it researches data (“Research” 297) .{1} And even as recently as March 2016, College English published an article which began “...creative writing and composition function for all intents and purposes as separate pedagogical entities”(Sumpter 340) .{2}  \nBut even a cursory knowledge of all these intradisciplinary aspects of English shows creative writing isn’t all about plot and character development, and composition isn’t all about research and argumentation. Even “our students,”Judith Harris suggests,“view the partitions between compositional and creative writing as being more mirages than real walls”(176) . In the wake of claims that “real walls” exist, this essay asks: How and where do compositionists borrow the tools of creative writers and make them work in the methodologies of “academic writing”? In what ways are they employed or theorized in the teaching of writing?  \nOne approach to answering these questions is to see this essay as working in the same vein as Meghan A. Sweeney and Maureen McBride’s 2015 article “Difficulty Paper (Dis)Connections: Understanding the Threads Students Weave between Their Reading and Writing,” wherein the authors used Mariolina Salvatori’s difficulty paper “to explore student experiences in reading” and to “show[] how basic writing students’ expectations extend not only to how the reading will help their writing but also the difficulties in understanding the reading when the moves done by the published writer are foreclosed upon in the composition class” (592, my emphasis) . Their last phrase is most important for me, since what I’ll be calling for in this essay is the composition student’s close analysis, plucking out, and personal adaptation of the published writer’s moves in the composition class. Sweeney and McBride’s students read and responded to a New Yorker essay by Malcolm Gladwell and Jonathan Swift’s classic satire,“A Modest Proposal.” Through their difficulty papers, the students identified elements—I would say tools—that Gladwell and Swift used, tools that impeded their understanding of the published writing, tools that (ultimately) could be picked up  \nand","cbCaiq00nadtgRSU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq00nadtgRSU","pdf",145177,6,1,11,"English","en",105,"# Composition Forum 40, Fall 2018\n## The Use of Artistic Tools in Composition Pedagogy\n## I.","[{\"question\":\"What does the article argue about the relationship between creative writing and composition?\",\"answer\":\"It challenges claims that the fields do not connect, arguing that composition borrows fictional craft elements and artistic tools from creative writing.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the author support the discussion of artistic tools in composition pedagogy?\",\"answer\":\"The author searches through 17 years of journal articles to show how artistic tools are discussed and adopted by teachers for writing students.\"},{\"question\":\"What role should students play according to the proposal in the essay?\",\"answer\":\"Students should be independent harvesters and users of rhetorical tools, moving past merely using techniques to making a more conscious use of tools available beyond what teachers provide.\"}]","Composition Forum 40 -
