Writing Across the Curriculum (EDDL 270)
3 Semester Hours of Graduate CreditCourse Overview
This course is disigned to support teachers in grades three though six with effective writing instruction across content areas. Created specifically for upper grade teachers, this course begins by focusing on direct writing instruction in a writing workshop. Participants will learn and practice specific craft and mechanics techniques that are tangible for students, supporting visible progress towards more general goals such as writing with detail, sentence fluency and voice. These sessions will also address how to support student independence within personal narrative and non-fiction units of study. The second half of this course looks at writing in the content areas, including math, science and social studies. Participants will earn a broad range of writing formats that can elevate the way students process information and engage with material learned. For each content area, participants will learn: strategies for effective writing instruction; ways to model writing formats; ways to support below-grade level writers; and how to balance the expectations of writing and content in formal and informal assessments.
