‘Gotta Write for Life’
Writing with Passion: Walter Bowne’s Transformative Approach to Teaching
Insights from a 26-Year Educational Journey
In my 26 years of teaching English and composition, at the high school and now, full-time at the college level, I’ve never had a “computer,” like my “assistant,” Monsieur Claude, generate questions for an interview. For 25 years, I was the journalism teacher and advisor — and this seems like “cheating,” but I pray I’m not violating any ethical codes. Think of them as “stock questions.”
The purpose for the existence of this Q and A is simple — offer insights into my methods for fostering authentic writing and a love for literature. This piece hopefully provides:
Practical advice —
Educational philosophy —
Anecdotes —
If you’re interested in drastically improving your writing, at any level or genre, business, formal, or casual, this may help. I can also help — directly. My contact information is at the bottom.
