We make connections between student investment in writing, adopting a successful writing process, and performing different invention strategies. In addition to our inclusion of student comments, we root our chapter in composition theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sections that follow present specific invention activities that students can perform on their own, or that may be performed by students in groups. We offer detailed instructions for both possibilities. These strategies have been employed in our classes, and we offer possible student responses to them as examples, demonstrating how an activity might lead the writer to a successful paper topic. The strategies covered address different kinds of invention and consider the role of genre, audience, and purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final section discusses student responses to some of the activities, addressing some of the challenges students raise. Our goal in this section is to provide examples of ways different student writers can identify with different invention strategies without sacrificing overall success in developing their ideas. In other words, we want students to understand that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn\u2019t work for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternate Downloads:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also download this chapter from Parlor Press or WAC Clearinghouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Writing Spaces is published in partnership with&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.parlorpress.com\/\">Parlor Press<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/wac.colostate.edu\/\">WAC Clearinghouse<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michelle D.
