dear Mary Jane and others,
not specifically 'texts containing authentic student writing', but a whole bunch of other resources can be found on the site of the Association for Academic Language & Learning (AALL) at: http://www.aall.org.au/teaching.
Anyone can also join the AALL discussion forum and ask questions, start discussions, etc. It's free: http://aall.org.au/forum
We're always happy to share, but many of you already know this.
cheers

Many thanks, John! So as not to clutter up everyone's inboxes, I will be
replying individually to those kind enough to reply, and then send a
summary email to the list. Thank you!

Hi Mary Jane

The Writing for Assignments E-library (WrAssE) is not a text book but an
online resource to encourage staff and students in higher education to
explore how we judge student writing in terms of some of the key
functions it fulfils, and qualities it displays. Go to
www.learningdevelopment.plymouth.ac.uk and click on the little fish!

We hope students will be able to learn from WrAssE and be empowered by
seeing authentic examples of successful written work by their peers -
along with comments from academic about what 'works' in the students'
texts. Academic staff have found WrAssE a stimulating way to consider
their own assessment criteria - and to bring to the surface some of the
more taken-for-granted judgements they make about students work.

We worked on this at the University of Plymouth in the UK for some years
and launched the resource as a prototype last year (with help from a
nationally funded project called 'LearnHigher' - see
www.learnhigher.ac.uk). WrAssE is far from perfect but we are keen to
hear from people who have comments to make about it - and even more keen
to discuss the possibility of partnerships with others to build upon and
improve our work in this area.


With best wishes


John

Subject: writing textbooks using authentic student essays/texts?

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if there are academic writing textbooks or guides that
use authentic student essays from a range of disciplines as models,
samples, exemplars, etc? If so I would be very grateful to know about
them.

Thanks!
