Response and Revision: Helping Students Develop their Ideas in Writing
Suzanne Lane
Tue Jan 31, 10-11:30am, 12-134
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
What kind of feedback will help students understand how to revise their essay, report, or article, to hone and extend their thinking, or to write more effectively in their next assignment? This workshop will draw on research on the writing process and revision to help faculty and TAs understand the range of responding practices, from rubrics to peer review to individual conferences, and when each is effective. By considering feedback in relation to other forms of instruction, participants will learn to provide the kinds of comments and strategies that will help students understand how to improve both their essays and their abilities as writers.
All WAC workshops are open to faculty and teaching assistants who are interested in integrating writing and speaking into their subjects.
