In “Missing the Personal Connection,” Mark Bauerlein claims that “writing is still best taught face-to-face between teacher and student.” He cites as proof the following kinds of exchanges that take place in his F2F (face to face) conferences with students:
“Look at that verb in your opening,” I say. “What do you think?”
“Passive?” student mumbles.
“How about an active verb, one that lets us drop that preposition, too?”
Student ponders, tries out a few, then we settle on a better choice.
