The Sentence with Peter Wayne Moe
Manage episode 319573599 series 1257870
Peter Wayne Moe is an Associate Professor of English and Writing at Seattle Pacific University and author of the book Touching This Leviathan, a book about whales (and language, and writing, and much more)*. In this interview, we discuss Peter's article "A Sequence for Teaching the Sentence," published in Teaching English in the Two-Year College in 2018 and what teaching sentences can do in the composition classroom.
(*We also, incredibly, played together in the rhythm section of a jazz band in high school.)
Here is the list of sentences we discuss at the end of the episode:
As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once. (John Green, The Fault in Our Stars)
If the use of a computer is a new idea, then a newer idea is not to use one. (Wendell Berry, “Why I Am Not Going to Buy a Computer”)
You believe that I believe what I believe because of the way I was brought up because of the way you were brought up. (Fredrick Temple, quoted in Beliefs and Values in Science Education by Michael Poole)
Jesus wept. (John 11:35, King James Version of the Bible)
