Dimensions of Writing the World: Looking at Critical Composing from Three Directions
Randy Bomer

Randy Bomer, 2004-2005 president of NCTE, says that “If we want to live in a world that is fair, we have to make sure that the literacies we enact in our classrooms can contribute to a just world.” He considers writing to be a tool for helping people to examine their own thinking and that of the world around them, and discusses three ways of teaching students to write for social action, or, in other words, to “write the world.”
