Developing as a Young WriterAugust 31, 2009 Catherine Compton-Lilly documents how one student from a low-income family accumulated ‘writing capital’ over 10 years. Compton-Lilly tracked Peter Horner’s development as a writer from first grade through high school. She analyzes Peter’s writing over time and reveals the alignments, tensions, and disjunctures that existed between his success as a writer, his school success, and how his accomplishments extended into contexts beyond school. Peter appeared to be developing various forms of writing capital, yet structural and institutional constraints threatened to limit his ability to take advantage of it. Read the Working Paper.
