Sharing Some Writing
English 712: Writing and the Teaching of Writing, is a core course in WMWP’s Graduate Certificate in the Teaching of Writing Program, though it is open to all pre- and in-service teachers and graduate students. The course focuses on the socio-cultural context of literacy learning in the United States, the development of writing process theory and research, and approaches to the teaching of writing. Among the writing tasks that students complete in the course is an inquiry project on a particular facet of literacy instruction.
Several participants in the Summer 2008 section of English 712, taught be Bruce Penniman, have offered to post their inquiry projects here as resources to other teachers. Thanks to Colleen, Jon, and Pam for sharing the fruits of their labors!
