Description
"Coming From Home" is a reader arranged around the single theme of families and the importance of a community. Containing 72 selections, including essays, poems, stories and memories, it aims to provide a variety of ethnic, cultural, economic, sociologocal, psychological and literary perspectives. The text incorporates current teaching approaches such as reader-response theory, journal keeping and creativity, audience awareness, critical thinking, collaborative learning and work processing strategies. Journal writing and intertextual questions, asking students to work with common threads within a number of works, characterize the extensive, integrated support that should contribute to making this text useful in a writing course.
