Writing Guide: Teaching Resources

The MSUB Writing Guide provides supplemental resources for all writing programs at Montana State University Billings.

TEACHING RESOURCES

In our schools, our students tell us they don't want to write. They need not bother to tell us; we can feel their apathy as they crank out stories that are barely adequate; we can hear their question, 'How long does it have to be?' We forget that we, too, would yawn and roll our eyes if we were asked to write about our summer vacation or our favorite food. We do not consider how we would feel if the only response to our hard-earned stories were red-penned 'Run-ons.’
