The article I chose is called, "Toward a Writing and Healing Approach in the Basic Writing Classroom: One Professor's Perosnal Odyssey" by Molly Hurley Moran.

This article describes the process a teacher used in her basic writing course. She began with narrative writing as the base of every assignment, moving her students towards more academic writing. So this is a case study for whether to use personal writing in the basic writing class, and one method of doing so.

Do you believe writing has actual therapeutic qualities? Or would you say that it serves more as a catharsis which may contribute to emotional healing, but doesn't constitute the actual healing itself? Just wondering.
