Description
Pugh discusses the value of "vectored" writing assignments for undergraduate analyses of "multigeneric" texts, focusing on TC. "Vectored analysis"--defined here as the "examination of a text from at least two converging yet separate perspectives"--encourages students to engage in "vibrant exploration of textual interplay." The article describes the use of genre/character graphs for discussion of TC.
