Promoting Generosity in Whole-Class Writing Workshops
Title of Panel or Colloquium
Panel: Broadening Student Perspectives
Abstract
This presentation considers how whole-class writing workshops (in which an entire class responds to one student’s work) can benefit students. To achieve this benefit, however, teachers need to place more attention on helping students practice generosity in responding to their peers’ writing. The presentation will explain how to conduct such workshops successfully and offer ideas for how teachers can promote generosity in their classes.
