"The Clay That Makes the Pot"--The Loss of Language in Writing Assessment.
Wolf, Shelby A.; Davinroy, Kathryn A. H.
Written Communication, v15 n4 p419-64 Oct 1998
Examines current reforms in writing assessment, including the California Learning Assessment System writing portfolio. Compares language writing to "the clay that makes the pot." Concludes that writing revolves around criticism, but if assessment stays on the surface, then criticism may not be helpful in pushing the generative aspect of writing: the work of language. (PA)
