Stories from First-Year Composition: FYC Pedagogies that Foster Student Writing Identity and Agency

The central value of first-year composition is often questioned, typically accompanied by characterizations of FYC as a "service" course. This collection counters those perceptions, sharing with readers a new FYC story, one that demonstrates a new "service" that the course provides to first-year students, a service that accommodates the realities of writing--that it is never just writing and that the writing process entails much more than plugging in the "right" words (that mean the same to everyone) in predetermined forms.
