Secret public WC journal
I really like the WC journal idea on 85-86 and the insight it provides to consultants as they work through their processes and see others do the same. I wonder if student writers who use the WC can read it too. What might they learn about the WC, about writing, about the consultants, and about their own process?

What about the idea of student writers also writing in a secret public journal when they come to the writing center? It would be interesting to see the expectations they have when they arrive versus when they leave and how these change over time. What would first-timers learn from reading what other students have to say?
What I am taking from this class is that reading about and discussing ideas is saliant to broading my horizons, changing thinking, and ultimately changing behavior - in my case methods of teachiing. Why not have students read a variety of articles about writers and writing. Exposure to different thoughts and methods is a first step.
