I've been asked to suggest some readings on 'writing and voice' and/or 'writing and power' for students to read in a course on 'skills' in our Social Work program. I don't know much about the course, but I have been working with instructors in SOWK, so far on formulating good assignments. Their rapidly expanding program has students ranging in age from 17 to 40+, and is very diverse. The writing problems are legion meaning, I gather, that only a minority of the students are able to submit a coherent and relatively well-written paper sans plagiarism. I think the course in question is being designed to encourage students to take their writing seriously and work at improving it. (I've not seen the outline, however). I am grateful for your suggestions.
