Made Not Only in Words: Composition in a New Key

Kathleen Blake Yancey

Abstract

Made Not Only in Words: Composition in a New Key is the print version of the multimodal address that former CCCC Chair Kathleen Yancey gave at the 2004 CCCC convention. Discussing the myriad forms and purposes that writing can take today, she asks us to re-examine our beliefs about what writing is and how it should be taught.
