brandt quickly [methodology]
Brandt, Deborah. Literacy as Involvement: The Acts of Writers, Readers, and Texts. Southern Illinois UP: Carbondale IL. 1990.
framing & data-collecting (reading as a facet of involvement): "the following descriptive data is drawn from a larger study of some twenty-five hours of think-aloud protocols rendered by the two students. here i concentrate on three think-aloud protocols by each student as he wrote first drafts on three assigned topics. both writers knew they would have an opportunity to revise the drafts before they were formally due….my questions were these: what role did reading play in the conduct of the two writers' composing processes? what were the writers doing immediately before and immediately after reading occurred? what differences emerge between the writers in their uses of reading during writing?" (51)
defining terms: i counted 'reading' as any instance in which a writer interrupted other composing activities to read or scan a sentence or more of inscription" (51-2).
