Stories of Reading: Inside and Outside the Texts of Portfolios.

Schultz, Lucille M.; Roemer, Marjorie; Durst, Russel K.

Assessing Writing, v4 n2 p121-32 1997

Applies to the reading of student texts in a college composition portfolio assessment the notion that evaluations of text vary because readings take place in specific contexts and are shaped by cultural and historical exigencies. Concludes that in every reading of a text, readers posit an "implied author" that can strongly influence the reader's evaluation of student work. (RS)
