Writing Pedagogy

​

• Reverse-engineer formal writing assignment goals, including thinking goals.

 
Give journal assignments for reading and for building “chaos” for content.
 

• Make transparent writing-to-learn sequenced scaffolding strategies in writing journals

      and by way of small group workshops.
 
The “chaos” is a series of writing-to-learn journal assignments that encourage critical thinking and builds possible content for a formal paper.
 

• Foster perspectival thinking to develop other points of view by way of reading

            assignments.
 
Bring primary texts together for reading, first for “bumping heads” and nuanced connection-making, and then triangulate for research purposes.
 

• Problem-pose as an approach to assignments for inclusive learning communities.

 
Organize small group work from sharing journals to peer review workshop.
 

• Engage with strategies all students in achievement-based programs.

 
Build transparent and collaborative community while working toward a formal paper assignment.
