'There is a class, for example, that culminates in writing a music review for the radio. "When they do that, they are actually composing essays, writing a thesis, devising a structure, and paying attention to all these things, like coherency, detail, and evidence. They're doing all that work, but they're writing about rock, and they get to be on KFOG, and how cool is that?" '
