Abstract

The purpose of my study is to acknowledge that through movement, the connection between mind and body can greatly benefit composition pedagogy in first year university level writing programs. I argue for a more holistic approach to the teaching of writing, which includes a combination of expressivist, postmodern, and critical pedagogies paralleled and intertwined in order to enhance the mind-body connection through a paradoxical combination of unified individuality.
