• W816569473 abstract "Abstract Writing teachers are not trained as trauma counselors or therapists. How, then, should they respond to national crises such as the recent terrorist attacks in their writing classrooms? Writing teachers function most effectively as compassionate, non-judgmental, non-critical listeners and moderators. Allowing students to reflect on and write about tragedies like 9/11 yields more insightful writers, more confident human beings, and more concerned citizens. ********** Writing The terrorist attacks of 9/11 changed our lives forever. As the events of that horrific day unfolded on the television screen, writing teachers across the nation responded both personally and professionally on the Writing Program Administrators listserv with reports, reactions, and questions about appropriate pedagogy. A long discussion evolved over the next couple of weeks about our responsibilities as writing teachers to help our students deal with such traumatic events. Some questioned whether English teachers should assume the role of classroom counselor or therapist. The majority of the respondents on the WPA listserv, however, reported that they had used this national crisis as a forum for their students to express their feelings about the tragedy, both orally and in writing. On my local campus and on others across the nation, teachers from many disciplines responded to the tragedy of 9/11 in various ways--by discussing the events, by writing about the crisis, or by discovering opportunities to link their course curriculum with current events. Responding to Crisis through Writing I believe it is the nature of writing teachers to create a nurturing relationship between teacher and students (and amongst students) and a classroom atmosphere in which students free to and are encouraged to express their views and emotions about things that matter to them by speaking and writing. My goal as a first-year writing teacher is to help students communicate these ideas and feelings more effectively. How can I ignore national and community crises that undeniably impact the rhetorical situation in which we all write and respond? Although my pedagogical training did not equip me to counsel and advise students to deal with personal crises, in a national or community crisis my counseling may be tested. In the shared trauma of 9/11, for example, it was natural to share our communal grief within the safety and security of our local writing community. According to psychologists, although the time frame for emotional recovery from natural disasters and other catastrophes is unique to each individual, everyone experiences similar stages of the grief process. While the victim (I use this term in an emotional sense not necessarily a physical sense) may at first be in a state of shock due to denial and feelings of isolation, if able to acknowledge the loss and its consequences, she can move from anger toward acceptance. In the classroom the teacher may be called upon to use counseling such as acknowledging the victim's feelings, listening nonjudgmentally, and confronting when necessary (Webb 398-99). Following a community crisis, it is important for victims to debrief. Debriefing involves telling one's story (Webb 414). When we share our individual stories with one another in the classroom, the local discourse community not only becomes a support system but also provides an environment for learning new coping skills (Webb 409). No longer isolated, victims use their common experience to collectively build a common consensus of the impact of the tragedy and its aftermath. Nathaniel Bleekman, a teaching assistant in first-year composition, shares his experience of building community in the wake of a 1994 California earthquake through journal writings, collaborative writing, and observation. Sharing our feelings with others often makes us feel better. My classes were cancelled on 9/11; the president of our small Christian college called an impromptu prayer service in the chapel. …" @default.
