Keep it Simple! High-Value Practices that Will Simplify Your WIL1 Course

January 9 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

Free

In this workshop, we’ll explore how focusing on just two, high-value assignment practices can make all the difference in your WIL1 course.  

The first is an infusion of regular, low stakes writing prompts (tied to class material) that build writerly confidence, encourage involvement in substantive class discussions, and provide opportunities for writing practice. The second is a fully scaffolded essay that has layers of revision built into it over time, guiding students in the transition from high school to college writing in a meaningful and gratifying way.  

Just these two assignment practices will not only simplify your syllabus, but also promote student growth as “writers who think.” Let’s discuss how they might work in your course! Please come prepared with a draft syllabus, or an old syllabus, to play around with. 

Facilitated by Lisa Schnell, WID Faculty Associate

Please reserve this time on your calendar! You will receive an Outlook invite closer to the event. This is in-person in 302 Howe Memorial Library.
