Spring Workshops on Writing and Feedback
Christina Michaud and Marisa Milanese, Master Lecturers from the CAS Writing Program, will co-facilitate two workshops in early spring.
Workshop 1: Putting Grammar Back In: Linguistically-Responsive Writing Instruction
For faculty who teach writing, rhetoric, or writing-intensive courses, “what to do” about grammar has long been a concern. Join us for an interactive workshop as we reflect more on how we use grammar in the classroom and in our feedback practices, learn some tips for addressing grammar from the framework of critical language awareness, and discuss student perspectives on grammar from the point of view of first-generation and/or low-income students.
Tuesday 1/31/23, 4-5 on Zoom. Please register at this link.
Workshop 2: Making Feedback More Transparent: Reframing Peer, Instructor, and Tutor Feedback
For faculty who teach writing, rhetoric, or writing-intensive courses, offering feedback on student writing is one of the wise practices we constantly employ. Join us for an interactive workshop as we reflect more on how we use feedback in the classroom, learn some tips for reframing feedback as “feed forward,” and discuss strategies for empowering students to interact with feedback. We will also consider student perspectives on feedback, especially from the point of view of first-generation and/or low-income students.
