Judy, try
Sperling, M., & Woodlief, L. (1997). Two classrooms, two writing
communities: Urban and suburban tenth-graders learning to write. Research
in the Teaching of English, 31, 205-240.
Compares the writing environments in a classroom in an urban, multi-ethnic
school and one in a suburban, mainly white middle class school. Explores
how the teachers and the students created different kinds of communities,
focusing on the teachers' goals, their curricula, the kinds of writing
assignments used, and the students' values for writing.
