ENG 5080 - Teaching Writing and Critical Inquiry
Introduces students and teachers to writing-to-learn theories, concepts, and strategies central to the teaching of writing. To familiarize teachers with how writing-to-learn strategies can work, we will begin each class by engaging in informal writing exercises. Writing-to-learn concepts allow teachers to imagine curricula where writing creates knowledge, where ties to reading, writing, and thinking lead to inquiry, and where teachers integrate critical engagement through writing with various kinds of sources, from library sources to popular culture. Teachers will apply both theory and practice in the classroom and will design assignments that promote critical inquiry. Usually for students attending the Appalachian Writing Project.
