Specifically directed to those who have taught: What are your reactions to the metaphors Tobin outlines for the student-teacher relationship? Which ones have you identified with the most, and do you have any of your own additions as you categorize yourself as an instructor?
When we situate Yancey's article alongside Selfe's, does your view of the "writing public" change at all? For example, who is this public? What are they writing? Has participation in this online, writing public become more accessible? Or is it still only accessible to more privileged groups, whether that be along class, geography, or race? And when we think about the classroom, how does Yancey's interpretation of this new writing public fit in with the requirements of Selfe's politically-oriented literacy classroom?
