| dc.description.abstract | This presentation describes the results of a study that examines how students take up their antecedent genres (from high school, community college, workplace, home culture, personal history) when they write new genres in first-year composition courses. Based on this research, I argue that first-year composition has value as a middle-space class that teaches potential antecedent genres—both how students build on and deploy the antecedent genres they bring and how the genres students learn in first-year composition courses function as antecedents for the genres they write in school and beyond. | en_US |
