This course explores the many theories and practices surrounding the teaching of writing. Topics addressed include approaches to teaching writing; designing writing assignments, assessment, multimodal and digital composition, language and grammar, classroom management and teaching writing in contexts other than FYC. Rather than encouraging a particular approach to teaching writing, this course is designed to allow students to investigate and experience a variety of approaches and to cultivate an approach that best suits thier situations and practices. The course culminates in a portfolio that includes a textbook review, a brief reserach assignment, an assigning and responding project, a teaching philosophy, and a course plan.
