This project explores the emergence and development of researched-writing in first-year composition as it is represented in English Journal, College English, and Indiana University Archives circa 1912-1962. By analyzing this corpus according to instructors' purposes for, problems with, and approaches to researched-writing, this thesis offers a more nuanced perspective on early researched-writing instruction that challenges the dominant current-traditional narrative and considers how this history might be used to inform and shape other historical investigations into classroom genres, as well as current research on and approaches to researched-writing instruction in first-year composition. / A Thesis submitted to the Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. / Summer Semester 2015. / July 1, 2015. / Composition, Current-traditionalism, English Journal, Genre, Indiana University, Research Paper / Includes bibliographical references. / Tarez Samra Graban, Professor Directing Thesis; Kristie Fleckenstein, Committee Member; Michael Neal, Committee Member.
