Marooned on an alien world isn’t something Proxi ever imagined for himself. Yet, that is his reality as the Urbworld drifter is thrust upon the pristine landscape of a world long since terraformed, and forgotten. Saddled with an eclectic group of fellow survivors, the strangers all managed to escape their rapidly deteriorating transport vessel as it had been passing nearby. A transport vessel that abruptly met its end when it came under siege by a mysterious force wielding impressive weaponry, the likes of which Proxi had never thought possible. No longer strangers, they quickly discover that to survive they need to work together – despite their opinions of each other. Thrust into this new life, now a colonist on the frontier of civilized space, they quickly learn that they must adapt. Each of them must develop existing skills and learn new ones if they’re all going to make it off the strange world that is their new home. However, it’s not so simple. Threats and dangers are everywhere, the crashlanded survivors are constantly tested, and no one is safe. Will they survive? Will they escape? Or will they fall?

The Fall of the Four

Russell Carpenter

Writing Studio Pedagogy (WSP) breaks from the tradition of teaching and responding to writing in traditional ways and moves the teaching and learning experience off the page and into engaging spaces in multiple ways, which can enhance the composing process. Through this collection, scholars interested in rethinking approaches to teaching, writing pedagogy, and innovative learning will find new ways to challenge their own understandings of space, place, and collaboration. WSP involves an attention to space and place in the development of rhetorical acts by focusing on the ways in which they enhance pedagogy. This book takes a unique opportunity to return to pedagogy as the foremost priority in any learning space. Educators might preference WSP for its emphasis on student-centeredness by creating productive interactions, intersections, and departures that arrive from prioritizing learning. WSP acknowledges the centralized role of students and teachers as co-facilitators in learning and writing. These threads are intentionally broad-based, as the chapters contained in this book speak to the complexity of WSP across institutions.
