*This chart is based upon Peter Elbow’s concept of the believing and doubting games, which he explains in the appendix essay in Writing Without Teachers. Some items are extracted directly from his text; others are extrapolations created in the spirit of his idea. As you might suspect--and as Elbow would predict--students (as well as scholars) have a much easier time with the doubting game than with the believing game. | |||||
