Designing Semester-Long and Theme-Based Writing Assignments in First-Year Writing
Abstract
The presenters will share how they applied Eodice, Geller, and Lerner’s The Meaningful Writing Project to design meaningful semester-long assignments—as opposed to a series of brief, relatively unconnected assignments throughout the semester—to engage students in FYW. Their topics include adaptations of I-Search model, a creative research unit based in multi-writing pedagogy, and teaching a thematic course.
