Abstract: Author traces journey of evolving teaching strategies in response to COVID-19 Pandemic to teaching during the early days of the proliferation of generative AI. By returning to the tenets of Composition pedagogy, the author fashions a new strategy for the writing classroom of today, based on certain principles of the Composition as expressed since the 1980's. Guidance for current classroom includes emphasizing individual identity in a learning community, timely student feedback, journaling, conferencing, reflecting, evaluating curricula in real-time, and composing as much as possible in analog formats.
