Where will we find the muse? An alternative model of engagement: The Studio Model--"[Motivation] needs to be explained in the context of participation in a community of practice that values community activities and supports interest in the process of learning" (Pressick-Kilborn and Walker). Focus Quotations: I also like how I can compare my work to my classmates and see if I'm doing things the right way. Being able to look at everyone else's writing and composing has helped me many times. I think what I have learned most during these past weeks is to not rely so heavily on the teacher for instruction. I suppose that I'm just so accustomed to the teacher spelling out exactly what he/she wants, and it was a bit off-setting at first to have so much freedom. However, I received enough feedback to find direction.
