Approaches to Scaffolding Your Students' Written Work: Writing as an Iterative Learning Process

How can you effectively and efficiently meet Richmond's new General Education requirement for "Written Communication"? What does it mean to scaffold writing assignments? 

After briefly reviewing key concepts in the teaching of writing, this interactive workshop will help you adapt an assignment that helps your students produce work that has undergone "an iterative process" and contributes to the learning goals of your class. We will also briefly discuss strategies for commenting on writing at its various stages, and participants will share their approaches to designing assignments and teaching writing. Participants are asked to bring a current writing assignment that they would like to adapt or improve for the new writing-intensive Written Communication designation*.

This interactive workshop, facilitated by Michael Reder, Director of the Joy Shechtman Mankoff Center for Teaching & Learning at Connecticut College, will take place on Friday, Oct. 27 from 10-12pm in the Faculty Hub (3rd Floor, Boatwright Library). Lunch will be provided to those who register by Wednesday, Oct. 25. 

*Note: Participation in this workshop will count as your required professional development training for the Written Communication designation in the new Web of Inquiry GE curriculum.
