High School Students’ Creative Writing Texts: Culture, Travel, Relationships, Life Incidents, and Asian Indian Epistemology
Main Article Content
Abstract
Gayathri Vidapeeth, Haridwar, India is an educational institution affiliated with
Dev Sanskrithi Vishwavidyalaya (DSVV), Haridwar. In the summer of 2015, a delegation
from the University of Texas at San Antonio (department of Interdisciplinary Learning
and Teaching) offered professional development to instructors and students at DSVV
through an invitational summer institute. The institute was modeled after the San Antonio
Writing Project, a site network of the National Writing Project. One of the co-directors
of the Haridwar Writing Project collected narratives from high school students at
Gayathri Vidyapeeth after teaching classes using the writing workshop model for a week.
In this study, the director, co-director, and a Haridwar Writing Project teacher consultant
collaborated to analyze the data collected at the school. Data was analyzed utilizing four
different approaches to narrative writing – Bruner’s ten features of narrative, Riessman’s
thematic, and Frawley’s therapeutic and semantic scales analysis.
