Short Description
This presentation examines “Eloquentia,” an immersive writing project integrated into the college writing curriculum at Westmoreland County Community College (WCCC). Linked to David A. Kolb’s experiential learning theory, this project transcended the boundaries of the writing classroom by engaging students with writing, revising, editing, and design processes in the creation of a professional publication.
