Getting
the Most Out of Keys for Writers

 

Thursday,
February 10, 2005; 12:30-2:00
,
VC 14-280

 

 How
can freshmen, introduced to Keys for Writers in their
required composition courses, successfully continue to utilize
the text as a resource throughout their academic careers?
Distinguished scholar, handbook author, and ESL expert
Ann Raimes will join us to discuss strategies
for utilizing her book to improve student writing in courses
in all disciplines and at all levels.   Lunch will be
served.

 

 

 

Addressing
the Needs of ESL Writers

 

Thursday,
March 10, 2005; 12:30-2:00
,
VC 14-280

 

What
do you do when your students can’t develop or articulate their
ideas in standard academic English?   This session will
address the challenges of working with a diverse student populationa
diversity often reflected in a wide range of language skills
that produce a variety of problems in student comprehension,
engagement, and ultimately, writing and performance.
ESL experts will guide our discussion and offer strategies.
Lunch will be served.

 

 

 

Designing
Effective Writing Assignments

 

Thursday,
April 21, 2005; 12:30-2:00
,
VC 14-280

 

What
kinds of assignments facilitate the best student writing?
Unclearly worded writing tasks and insufficiently stated
assignment goals confuse students and result in poor writing.
In this session, writing across the curriculum (WAC)
professionals will address designing assignments that help
students learn course content, practice critical thinking
strategies, and produce stronger writing.   Topics may
include designing assignments that encourage a sense of audience;
considering possibilities for pre-writing, drafting, and revision;
balancing low and high stakes writing assignments; and articulating
the goals, purpose, requirements, and assessment criteria
of an assignment.   Lunch will be served.
